Foredom Miniature Carbide Bur Ball 1.6mm 2.35mm Shank

Description:

Miniature Carbide Bur Ball 1.6 mm with a 2.35 mm shank is a versatile and essential finishing tool used throughout dental laboratories and clinical restorative procedures. Engineered with a slightly larger spherical diameter than ultra-miniature burs, it offers an excellent balance of precision, efficiency, and stability, making it ideal for contour refinement, occlusal shaping, and polishing preparation across numerous dental materials. Constructed from high-quality tungsten carbide, the bur provides superior hardness, exceptional wear resistance, and a consistently sharp cutting surface that maintains performance during extended use. This durability ensures smooth and predictable material removal whether used on ceramics, composite resins, temporary materials, or metal alloys such as cobalt-chromium and titanium. Its 1.6 mm ball head offers enough surface area to perform efficient contouring while still maintaining the delicate touch required for fine detailing. Dental technicians rely on this bur for anatomical refinement of wax patterns, adjusting fissures, rounding cusp tips, and smoothing transitional surfaces on crowns and bridges. In ceramic applications, the bur is ideal for defining occlusal anatomy before glazing or for minor adjustments to zirconia and lithium disilicate restorations. The 2.35 mm shank ensures compatibility with most straight handpieces and micromotors, offering excellent rotational stability. This stability translates to reduced vibration and enhanced control, minimizing the risk of over-reduction and preserving the intended morphology of the restoration. Clinicians also frequently use this bur for chairside adjustments, including correcting occlusal contacts, smoothing provisional restorations, and fine-tuning margins for improved patient comfort. Its spherical shape ensures gentle transitions and prevents sharp edges�especially important in areas of functional contact. Whether used for fine finishing or detailed anatomical refinement, the Miniature Carbide Bur Ball 1.6 mm is a dependable, high-precision instrument that contributes significantly to the accuracy, quality, and aesthetics of modern dental restorations.
