The Best Bur on the Block

 

Single-patient-use NeoBurr MAX 2 metal cutters provide fast, smooth, and comfortable treatments with exceptional results at a fair price

 

A freshly paved road has an intrinsic quality that brings drivers an unmatched sense of ease and satisfaction. Without all the bumps and potholes, which could not only inconvenience the driver but also damage their car, the ride can be smoother and more pleasurable.

 

Similar pleasure is found when a dentist discovers a bur that can efficiently cut through a tooth without skipping or generating too much heat. “If you have a bur that skips around a lot, or one that you have to grind with over and over again, you won’t have as good control, which runs the risk of causing more microfractures,” said Dr. Sean Grady, who has been in practice for nearly 25 years in Johns Creek, GA. “I am never concerned about skipping with NeoBurr MAX 2 metal cutters by Microcopy. This bur is very smooth when it cuts and is so efficient that you aren’t on the tooth for very long to cut a preparation.”

 

Superior Design and Efficiency

 

Already using Microcopy’s NeoBurrs for over 15 years, Dr. Grady especially appreciates MAX 2 metal cutters for their speed and efficiency. They require less grinding on the tooth, ensuring faster, smoother, and easier treatments that are more comfortable for his patients, too.

 

“The MAX 2 cutters make the patient experience better because we are no longer taking 10 or 15 minutes to cut a prep or needing to change burs every few minutes. You can literally prep a tooth by going over it once or twice,” he said. “We can get a lot done in a shorter amount of time.”

 

NeoBurr MAX 2 metal cutters have a 1.2-mm head diameter and a cutting edge that effectively keeps debris from clogging the blade. The blade tips are also specifically engineered for smooth, exact margins with minimal gingival abrasion. “The design of the NeoBurr MAX 2 is reliable,” Dr. Grady said. “It doesn’t break at the shank like other burs, and the debris doesn’t build up.”

 

With that, each NeoBurr MAX 2 is individually packaged for single-patient-use and labeled for safety and convenience, featuring a friction grip shank to further minimize vibration. Sectioning crowns on an almost daily basis, Dr. Grady said his NeoBurr MAX 2 cuts through amalgam and other metals with ease. “A typical bur could take 10 passes to do the same thing that only takes 2 passes with NeoBurr MAX 2 metal cutters,” he said.

 

Affordable Precision

 

“The price point of the NeoBurr MAX 2 metal cutters is also just right,” Dr. Grady added. “Microcopy burs have always been pretty inexpensive, and I continue to be pleased with all the burs I have purchased from them. I use the NeoBurr MAX 2 as my go-to bur. I have one in every bur block in my office,” he concluded. “It is the first bur in my arsenal, and I’ve definitely been happy using it.”
