Soft tissue trimming burs are designed for contouring gingival tissue. These specialised burs feature ceramic tips that help reduce bleeding during soft tissue procedures such as gingival contouring, uncovering implant sites, exposing deep cervical caries and other clinical situations that require reshaping or removal of soft tissue. Soft tissue trimming burs enable precise treatment of soft tissue, similar to how one would work on enamel and dentine, expanding your handpiece to even more clinical tasks.
This gingivectomy bur is used in the high speed handpiece at full RPM without water coolant spray to excise and contour soft gingival tissue with minimal bleeding. Unlike radiosurgery or electrosurgery, there is little risk of overheating the surgical site and compromising the bone.
Friction grip (FG) burs are typically used in high-speed handpieces. iM3 recommends disposing of burs between each patient or if they become dull during long procedures, to reduce turbine wear on the high-speed handpiece. These burs are intended for single use, and the cost should be factored into each procedure.
All iM3 Burs are high-quality, European-made designed for precision and reliability. Each bur undergoes a rigorous, standardized cleaning process to ensure optimal hygiene and performance: first polished in a rotary bur polisher to remove residual particles and restore surface shine; then placed in an ultrasonic cleaning unit to eliminate any remaining debris; thoroughly rinsed with hot water over a designated wastewater sink; the cleaning solution is filtered to remove contaminants; and finally, the burs are carefully dried in an oven at 80 °C (176 °F) to ensure complete moisture removal. This multi-step procedure guarantees that every iM3 Bur is clean, polished, and ready for safe and effective use.
