NeoDiamond & NeoBurr

They’re not glitzy and they’re definitely not glammy, yet dental burs certainly own the rights to the “practice staple” moniker. A pioneer in the concept of single-patient-use (SPU)dental burs, Microcopy leads the industry with a product that’s a central component of every dental practice. But with several types and hundreds of bur shapes and sizes, where to begin? Here’s a quick look at the world of SPU, Microcopy-style.

NeoDiamond

The No. 1, highest rated single-patient-use diamond burs available today, NeoDiamond burs feature Swiss-made XactFit shanks, are gamma-sterilized, and are individually wrapped and packaged in a clear poly packet. Operative diamonds are available in multiple grits, which run the gamut from very fine to coarse and come in a variety of sizes and shapes, including egg, flame, teardrop, wheel, football, pear, and ball.

X-Class

X-Class burs, a collection of 10 of Microcopy’s extra-coarse diamonds, offer extraordinary sharpness, cutting efficiency, and durability. The burs are designed with 2 black bands to differentiate their extra-coarse grits from their coarse-grit counterpartsand feature 213-μm diamonds bonded to a cut-to-grit shank. X-Class diamonds are designed for crown and bridge removal and gross tooth material removal.

Z-Class Adjusters

Designed to cut zirconia with minimal fracturing and an even depth, Z-Class Adjusters offer clinicians a smooth surface and are offered in 7 shapes: round-end taper, ball, teardrop, needle, egg, flame, and pointed cone.

NeoBurr

First introduced in 2004—and the first presterilized carbide bur—the award-winning NeoBurr product line features a 1-piece blended-neck design and now includes the MAX 1 and MAX 2 metal cutters, designed specifically to cut through metal and composite surfaces, including amalgam and semiprecious and nonprecious metals without clogging. Featuring a concentric design that minimizes vibration, NeoMax MAX 1 and MAX 2 burs cut smoothly, quickly, and without chatter
