The Best Burs Combine Strength and Safety
DPS evaluators are big fans of Microcopy's strong, sharp, and sterile single-patient-use burs
It’s said that pressure makes diamonds, but when it comes to diamond burs, applying excessive pressure will not yield beautiful results. Not only can doing so shorten the lifespan of the
instrument and increase the risk of damaging the handpiece, but more importantly, it may cause the patient pain and discomfort. Ever since Dr. Antony DeSantis began using NeoDiamond burs about 10 years ago, these concerns have disappeared.
“I know each diamond is sharp and has no wear. A light touch is all that is needed,” Dr. DeSantis said. He also knows that because NeoDiamond burs are single-patient-use and wrapped in individual poly packets, every NeoDiamond provides fast, precise cutting, while also minimizing cross-contamination. “They are efficient, reliable, and easy to replace when they get dull since they are pre-sterilized, especially during multiunit cases.”
Efficiency, reliability, and ease of use are just a few of the reasons DPS evaluators have repeatedly given Best Product awards to Microcopy’s growing bur portfolio.
Cut Confidently
A NeoDiamond fan from Teaneck, NJ, Dr. Shalom Mehler said, “They retain their cutting edge throughout any restorative procedure, and I almost never have to replace a diamond mid-treatment.”
As for the NeoBurr, another DPS Best Product, Dr. Marc Malatesta said, “This bur seamlessly cut through metal with ease and made removing a metal restoration very efficient.” Dr. Michael Teitelbaum had similar success, citing that in the nearly 10 years he's used NeoBurr, he can't recall the last time he's had a bur break during a procedure. "It’s something I hardly think about anymore," he added.
"With Microcopy, you know that the product you are purchasing will not only be reliable but come in multiple shades and lengths to match various procedures and clinician preferences," noted John Horn, DMD.
A Diamond for Everything
Dr. DeSantis says that NeoDiamond burs ensure there is a bur ready for any scenario, thanks to a wide array of shapes, grits, and lengths. “The coarse-grit diamonds work exceptionally well at high speed but cut and polish efficiently at slower speeds, too, leaving a clean finish line," he said. "The fine-grit diamonds are very effective at obtaining a nice pre-polish and are less likely to gouge a resin restoration than finishing carbide burs. When used under low speed with no water, the fine diamonds shape restorations well and add fine detail without overheating the tooth. They are especially useful in cutting zirconia crowns or creating an endo access without damaging porcelain,” he explained.
NeoDiamond is manufactured from a single piece of stainless steel plated with natural diamond grits, with a protective coating that improves the hardness and longevity of the diamond bur. Considering NeoDiamond’s near-perfect score for cutting efficiency and durability during its DPS product review, it's no surprise that the burs offer “a very good value,” according to Dr. Kent Caserta.
An Unbreakable Bur
“Most burs tend to break at the weld, but that can't happen with NeoBurrs because they have a blended-neck design, making them one piece,” said Dr. Craig Vinkovich. Effectively eliminating the weakest point of the bur, this design, along with the use of fine-grain tungsten carbide and hardened stainless steel, enhances the NeoBurr's durability and strength.
Dr. Vinkovich added, “In my experience with these burs, I’ve never had them break while removing amalgam, never had them fail when removing composite, and I’ve never had any problems with drilling.”
Much like NeoDiamond, each NeoBurr carbide is single-patient-use to improve infection control and keep staff and patients safe. This also guarantees a sharp bur for every procedure—right out of the package. As Dr. Teitelbaum puts it, “I realized how much time I could save with a new, fresh bur. And, being able to pop open a new bur in front of my patients is one more way to put them at ease.”
Whether it's used for crown prep, surgery, or trimming and finishing, NeoBurr delivers smooth and simple cutting across a variety of procedures, without blade clogging or vibrations on contact that cause patient discomfort.
“I think the quality that goes into Microcopy products is the biggest advantage of using NeoBurr carbides,” said Dr. Horn. “Every time you use NeoBurr, you are getting a great bur that will be sharp enough to last the whole procedure.”
