High-quality materials and state-of-the-art manufacturing produce diamond burs that enable cutting with maximum precision and efficiency.
When asked what they liked most about Johnson-Promident diamond burs, a dentist in practice for 33 years responded with, ?They work well, last long, and cut easily,? and a Florida dentist with 15 years of experience said, ?best burs yet.?
Manufactured to the highest international standards using the best quality materials, these diamond burs are engineered to optimize cutting precision, maximize durability, and minimize vibration.
Cutting Efficacy
Manufacturer Description: Johnson-Promident diamond burs are available in more than 100 shapes and sizes in a wide range of grits. Swiss-made steel blanks are hardened, turned, and ground, enabling maximum precision and superior efficiency, with cutting that is rapid, smooth, and comfortable. Because the plating process ensures that the diamond surface is homogenized, minimal pressure is required on the turbine, and the prepared tooth surface is homogenous.
Evaluator Feedback: Cutting efficacy was assessed in terms of speed and consistency, both of which were rated as excellent or very good by 93% of the 15 dentists who evaluated the diamond burs, with comments such as, ?even cut, good tip.?
?Right out of the package, they cut very well,? said one evaluator, who went on to say that she was able to obtain ?nice, smooth crown preps with speed.? A dentist who rated all features as excellent reported, ?smooth cutting even with the coarse grit [and] consistency with all the samples.? The same evaluator, who rated all features as excellent, noted, ?The very fine diamond was a great finishing tool.?
When asked what they?d like to see improved, an evaluator who reported that he most often uses all coarse bits said, ?The coarse grit wasn?t coarse enough,? and another dentist noted, ?The barrel shape diamond was a little too long.?
Chatter/Vibration
Manufacturer Description: In addition to optimizing cutting precision, the manufacturing process of the diamond burs also minimizes vibration.
Evaluator Feedback: Thirteen dentists described chatter and vibration as a very important consideration when purchasing burs, and 14 of the 15 evaluators rated this feature as excellent or very good. A California dentist reported, ?good cutting efficiency with little clogging and vibration,? and gave the burs an overall rating of very good.
Durability
Manufacturer Description: The diamond bur plating process that ensures a homogenous surface also produces a balanced bur with long-lasting cutting ability, while maximizing diamond sharpness.
Evaluator Feedback: Described by 93% of the evaluators as a very important or important consideration when selecting burs, durability was rated as excellent or very good by 13 dentists. ?The burs cut reliably and were durable, lasting through 5 to 6 procedures,? said a dentist who reported that he would probably purchase the burs and recommend them to colleagues.
An Ohio dentist in practice for 34 years described the burs as ?much better? than similar products, and said he ?was able to do at least 3 to 4 preps per diamond and they still felt like new,? and a California dentist in practice for 39 years noted that, ?the diamonds seem to retain their efficiency with multiple uses.?
One evaluator said she ?would love it if the burs could stay just as sharp after sterilization,? while another said, ?very solid bur, even after sterilizing.? A dentist who rated all features as excellent commented, ?These burs are built to last.?
Overall Satisfaction
With comments such as, ?The burs are of good quality and well crafted,? 14 of the 15 evaluators rated overall satisfaction with the burs as excellent or very good. Eleven evaluators said they would definitely or probably purchase the burs and 13 said they would definitely or probably recommend them to colleagues.?Great product. I truly enjoyed evaluating it,? said a Tennessee dentist who rated all features as excellent.
