Foredom Typhoon Taper Fine 3/16 X 3/4 2.35mm

Description:

Typhoon taper fine 3/16 x 3/4 2.35mm is designed for detailed shaping and fine finishing in dental laboratory environments where accuracy and surface refinement matter. With its fine-grade cutting texture, the bur removes material in controlled increments, preventing gouging or over-reduction on delicate acrylic surfaces and thin appliance structures. A tapered head makes it ideal for narrow access areas, such as interdental spaces, gingival contours, minor embrasure adjustments, and edge refinement along denture borders. Its narrow working tip helps maintain smooth anatomical transitions while minimizing the chances of unwanted marks or surface irregularities. The 3/4" length creates an optimal balance between reach and control. The Typhoon fine flute layout enhances debris evacuation, preventing clogging that often occurs with conventional fine burs. This ensures a consistent, cool cutting action that reduces heat buildup�especially important when refining thermoplastic aligners, splints, or lightweight acrylic retainers, which can distort under excess temperature. This bur is often used after coarse shaping tools to achieve precise contours prior to rubber-wheel polishing or pumice finishing. Common applications include refining denture surface contours, smoothing occlusal guard transitions, fine-adjusting orthodontic appliances, shaping provisional restorations, and prepping areas that require later polishing. Because of its fine cut and controlled abrasion, it helps reduce the number of finishing steps needed, improving efficiency while maintaining high-quality prosthetic outcomes.
