Dental Burs

[Beathard]

Are all dental burs made with a 1/16" shank? I am trying to order some from a dental supply and they seem very confused when I ask about the shank size.

 

[Chujybear]

No.
There is 3/32 too.
But some grinders take just one type of nib.

if you want 1/16", just specify "fg". that stands for friction grip, and all fg series burs are .062" or at least very close to that.

Thanks Monk. That is what I was looking for...

Ask your dentist for used burrs both carbide and diamond, lots of life left in them. Most dentists only use the burrs on one patient . If they are not autoclaved soak in Clorox .

I agree with Carlos, Lasco Diamond products, cheapest I have seen for FG carbide and diamond burrs to get here in Australia, and excellent quality, Chriso, if you order from them send them an e-mail regarding shipping, and they will adjust it, the online shipping calculator is a bit steep,
