Rosen Dental Burr, Round Head, Size 18 (5)

The Eickemeyer Tungsten Carbide Round Bur (ISO 18, 1.8 mm) is engineered for precision in small animal dentistry, ideal for medium-sized cavity preparation and tooth shaping in small to medium-sized animals like dogs and cats. Its tungsten carbide construction ensures long-lasting sharpness in high-speed handpieces or turbines. Supplied in packs of 5 for practice convenience.

Usage Guidelines

To ensure optimal performance and prevent breakage in high-speed handpieces:

• Use with water cooling (min. 50 mL/min) to reduce heat and friction, preventing thermal damage and bur breakage.
• Operate at 100,000–300,000 RPM for cutting enamel or dentin in procedures like cavity preparation or tooth sectioning.
• Apply light, intermittent pressure to avoid stress on the brittle tungsten carbide shank.
• Use in FG-compatible high-speed handpieces
• Do not use without water cooling, as this causes overheating, tissue damage, and bur breakage.
• Do not use on hard cortical bone (e.g., mandible in large dogs); use specialized surgical burs instead.
• Avoid exceeding 300,000 RPM, as this causes vibration and shank failure.
• Do not use worn or damaged burs; replace if cutting efficiency decreases. Best practice is to replace after each use.
