Foredom Diamond Bur Ball Nose Xxc 16mm L 10mm D 2.35mm

Description:

Diamond bur Ball Nose XXC 16mm l 10mm d 2.35mm is designed for demanding clinical tasks requiring rapid cutting performance with a slightly more controlled texture compared to XXXC variants. As a very-coarse (XXC) diamond bur, it efficiently removes ceramic, zirconia, composite, or enamel while offering smoother handling characteristics that help maintain predictable surface contours during aggressive adjustments. With a 16 mm ball-nose diameter and a 10 mm abrasive head length, the bur provides substantial cutting area without the extreme aggressiveness of larger XXXC burs. This makes it especially versatile for modifying occlusal surfaces, adjusting crown contours, and reshaping anatomical forms during restorative workflows. Its configuration promotes rounded shaping, reducing the risk of uneven surfaces or sharp transitions, particularly when working on monolithic zirconia or lithium-disilicate restorations. In clinical settings, this bur is often selected when moderate occlusal reduction is needed after try-in or when adjusting ceramic thickness to improve fit, reduce high spots, or prepare the restoration for final finishing. In laboratory contexts, it aids in contouring before fine detailing and staining. Because coarse burs generate heat during use, water spray is essential to protect both the restoration and surrounding tissues. Following initial modification with this XXC bur, clinicians typically proceed with medium- or fine-grit instruments to achieve a uniform texture that can be polished to high gloss. Its durability, balanced aggressiveness, and ergonomic performance make it a dependable tool for both in-office and laboratory procedures requiring substantial, yet controlled, material reduction.
