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

Description:

Diamond bur Ball Nose XXXC 16mm l 10mm d 2.35mm is engineered for heavy-duty dental applications requiring substantial material reduction and decisive shaping. With an extra-extra-extra-coarse diamond grit (XXXC), this bur provides rapid cutting efficiency, enabling clinicians to reshape ceramic restorations, reduce bulk in zirconia prosthetics, or modify enamel during extensive occlusal adjustments. The ball-nose shape allows smooth blending of curved surfaces and reduces the likelihood of gouging when contouring anatomical forms. A head length of 10 mm, combined with a robust 16 mm ball-nose profile, gives the bur significant cutting surface area for large-scale modifications. The 2.35 mm shank ensures compatibility with standard handpieces used for prosthetic adjustments. Because coarse-grit burs are designed to remove material rapidly, they are often the first step in a multi-stage finishing sequence, followed by medium and fine grits to refine surface texture and prepare the restoration for polishing. This bur is especially useful in laboratory settings or chairside environments where zirconia crowns or bridges require occlusal reduction after try-in. Its ball-nose contour promotes smooth transitions during shaping of cusp tips, fossa development, or rounding of sharp ceramic edges. When used intraorally, copious irrigation is essential to control heat generation and prevent damage to surrounding tissues. The XXXC grit level is particularly advantageous when adjusting monolithic ceramics, which can be resistant to shaping with finer abrasives. This instrument allows predictable, efficient modification while maintaining controlled handpiece movement. Its durability and abrasive stability ensure consistent performance even under demanding clinical workloads.
