What makes carbide burs better than steel or diamond burs?

Carbide burs are harder and last longer than steel. They offer smoother cutting than diamonds, which are more abrasive and typically used for grinding rather than slicing.

Can carbide burs be sterilized and reused?

Yes, most carbide burs are reusable and autoclavable, but always follow manufacturer guidelines. Replace them when cutting efficiency decreases or blades dull.

What’s the difference between plain cut and cross-cut burs?

Plain cut burs are smoother and less aggressive, ideal for finishing. Cross-cut burs remove material more efficiently and are preferred for rapid reduction.

Which handpiece type works with FG vs. RA burs?

Friction Grip (FG) burs are used in high-speed handpieces. Right Angle (RA) or latch-type burs fit into low-speed contra-angle handpieces.
