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.
