The Valdent USA #61T Titanium Nitride Coated, Gold Carbide Bur is a flame-shaped laboratory instrument engineered for superior durability and high-efficiency cutting on a wide range of dental materials. The gold-colored titanium nitride (TiN) coating significantly extends its lifespan, lasting up to 10 times longer than conventional uncoated burs.
Key Features & Benefits
- Titanium Nitride (TiN) Coating: A hard, ceramic gold-colored coating enhances the surface hardness and wear resistance of the bur. This reduces friction, which minimizes heat generation during use for smoother operation and prolonged instrument life.
- Premium Tungsten Carbide: The bur is made from high-density, fine-grain tungsten carbide, providing exceptional strength and precise cutting edges.
- Flame Shape Design: The elongated, tapered head that narrows to a fine point allows for access to intricate areas and is ideal for contouring and finishing anatomical details in restorations, especially around gingival margins.
- Ultra-Fast Cutting: Engineered for rapid material reduction and efficient performance, enhancing laboratory productivity.
- Versatile Application: Suitable for use on various materials in a laboratory setting, including plastics, ceramics, porcelain, plaster, acrylic, and stainless steel.
- Shank Type: Features an HP (Handpiece) laboratory shank, with a standard diameter of 3/32" (2.35mm), designed for use with a laboratory or slow-speed handpiece.
- Packaging: The product is supplied as a single bur (1/Pk).
Intended Use
The Valdent USA #61T bur is primarily used by dental professionals and laboratory technicians for:
- Contouring and shaping crown and bridge restorations.
- Refining margins of composite or porcelain restorations.
- Trimming and finishing acrylics and various metals.
