Description
Diamond New Most frequently, carbide burs are used to shape bone, remove old fillings, and prepare cavities for fillings. Tungsten carbide, the metal used to make carbide burs, is incredibly hard (roughly three times stiffer than steel) and heat-resistant. Compared to diamond burs, these leave a smoother surface. Because of their hardness, carbide burs can maintain a sharp cutting edge and be used many times without becoming dull.
