,For many years, Microcopy has been revolutionizing the design and development of diamond and carbide burs in the dental industry. In that time, NeoDiamond has become the No. 1-selling diamond bur for its fast and accurate cutting and for eliminating cross-contamination as a single-patient use bur., ,Dr. Scott Schaffer has been using NeoDiamond for years and is impressed that they are presterilized and retain their sharpness during use. “I believe NeoDiamond burs are just as strong as multi-patient use burs,” he said. “They stay sharp during all my procedures and are offered at a good price.”, ,Each NeoDiamond is manufactured from a single piece of stainless steel and is Triton plated using natural diamond grit that exposes 20% more cutting surface, according to Microcopy. It’s also plated with a protective coating that makes it more durable and longer lasting. The NeoDiamond line includes diamonds for crown and bridge, trimming and finishing, pediatrics, and cutting and adjusting zirconia—all designed for maximum performance and durability., ,The line of NeoDiamond burs can be used for a wide range of restorative and surgical procedures with dozens of shapes, sizes, and grits for crown and bridge procedures. The options range from trimming and fi nishing burs to short-shank burs for pediatric use, as well as Z-Class Cutters and Adjusters that are designed specifically for use on zirconia., ,When Dr. Robert DeFazio tested the NeoDiamond Z-Class Cutters and Adjusters, he noted, “The shapes are great, with the football bur a little rounder, leaving softer occlusal angles.” He also said the straight bur is ideal for interproximal reduction and finishing., ,Being able to access a selection of burs based on shape, size, and grit is what sold Dr. Anthony DeSantis of East Greenbush, NY, on NeoDiamond. He uses them for crown and bridge procedures, as well as finishing restorations, noting that the options give him greater control over finish line geometry and polished contours of direct restorations. He especially likes the modified flat-end taper bur, which he admitted “may be my favorite crown and bridge diamond ever. It’s the most effective bur for creating a rounded shoulder finish line when prepping all-ceramic restorations.”, ,The comfort level for patients is greatly improved with the NeoDiamond. They also seem to like knowing that the burs are presterilized. “Patients want to know that their safety is uppermost in our minds,” explained Dr. Shalom Mehler. “Using single-use burs allows for increased trust from patient to doctor, especially during this pandemic.”, ,Dr. DeSantis likes being able to have a new sterile bur whenever he needs one, especially knowing the diamond will be sharp. “There is a saying, ‘There is nothing more dangerous than a dull scalpel,’ and the same can be said for dental burs. Knowing that each bur is sharp and will cut predictably and efficiently without adding excess heat is comforting and helped me provide faster, safer, and more efficient tooth preparation,” he said.
