Prepping a crown with a bur spinning in a high-speed handpiece at nearly 400,000rpm
can be daunting. Aside from the challenges of navigating a patient's curious tongue or
tight cheek, specific burs are used to reduce tooth structure, create a margin and design a
preparation worthy of a final indirect restoration.
Truth be told, dentists often struggle with prepping teeth, even if it is something the
dentist does often. This is a reality for most doctors as crown and bridge procedures are
the bread and butter in their practices.
With more and more all-ceramic restorations, clinicians need to be aware of material
distinctions and minimum depth specifications before the lab technician calls and says
there wasn't enough reduction or the margin is in question.
But do we as dentists really understand how to properly use a bur? How can we get
the most benefit from the bur design? When does the bur move past its cutting efficiency?
Can I reuse a diamond bur? Is there a more straightforward approach when preparing
teeth that is predictable while maximizing the cost effectiveness of a diamond bur?
