The Occlusal Reduction Bur offers substantial time savings, as well, eliminating the need to tediously check and recheck clearance. The clinician no longer has to grind a crown from the lab, which not only takes time, but also diminishes a patient’s confidence. With this bur, minimal chairside adjustment is required. This allows the clinician to provide the patient with esthetic porcelain, which can only be achieved when proper clearance is given for layering techniques. With the Occlusal Reduction Bur, there is also minimal metal cost to the clinician—precious metal is expensive and adds significantly to the total lab fee. The bur is available in 1.5 mm, 1.8 mm, 2.0 mm, 2.2 mm, and 2.4 mm depths corresponding to proper occlusal reduction for various restorative materials. A 1.0-mm bur is also available for maxillary anterior palatal reduction. —Bob Alaburda
