Rotating tools constructed of tungsten carbide are dental carbide burs. They are made to fit into dental handpieces that can operate at fast or low speeds.
Under several trade names, carbide burs are offered in sterile and non-sterile types with a wide range of head sizes and operating lengths.
Dental lab carbides are used by dental technicians in a dental laboratory, while clinical carbides are utilized by dentists in dental clinics.
The dental carbides can be steam sterilized in a gravity or prevacuum cycle and are reusable.
To cut hard materials in the mouth area, such as teeth or bone, dental carbides are put into a dental handpiece that gives the desired rotation speed.
Hard metals, porcelain, plastic, and other comparable materials can also be cut with carbide burs.
1. Only dentists, lab technicians, or other qualified experts should use carbide burs.
2. Before using, carefully read the package labels.
3.Avoid using dull or worn-out burs.
4.Before using, make sure the bur is firmly grasped in the handpiece collet and thoroughly installed.
5. Avoid squeezing the bur into the handpiece. Anytime there is a problem with access, look at both for solutions.
6.Avoid using too much pressure, which could make the bur malfunction or produce unwelcome heat.
7.Avoid withdrawing the bur at a too acute angle to prevent breakage and leverage.
8. To prevent heating up or damage, it is advised to continuously move the bur.
9.Use only handpieces that are in good functioning order for optimal efficiency.
10. To prevent potential aspiration or swallowing, use a rubber dental dam.
11.Always use gloves when working with hazardous objects.
12.Always protect your eyes from expel particles by wearing eye protection.
13.Always wear surgical masks to prevent breathing in dust or aerosols.
14.Steam sterilization and storage both require bur blocks. They are not designed to keep the burs sterile.
15. To prevent discoloration or rusting, it is advised to transport the burs dry.
Always pay attention to the RPM of the carbide. To be sure you don't go above the maximum advised RPM, check the box or speak with the manufacturer.
Too much speed while using a carbide bur could lead to failure and unwelcome heat production.
Dental carbide burs should be meticulously cleaned and steam-sterilized before each usage because they are mechanically cleansed but not sterile.
1. Avoid using dry heat to sterilize carbide burs because this method has not been approved for usage.
2. Cleaning products with chlorine or chloride as an active ingredient should not be used on stainless steel. Instead, use pH-neutral agents.
3.Avoid using cold sterilizing techniques since they frequently involve potent oxidizing agents that could weaken or dull the carbide burs.
4. During the cleaning procedure, thoroughly check the burs for flaws.
5.Avoid storing products in disinfectant solutions for an extended period of time as they may cause product degradation.
1.Sterile carbide burs should only be cleaned once they have been used, for obvious reasons.
2.If the sterile carbide burs container is damaged or opened, the burs are no longer considered sterile.
1. The least suggested method is hand cleaning. If that's your only choice, clean it in a sink that's solely for cleaning supplies.
2.Rinse the carbide bursts for at least a minute under cool running water.
3. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations and use a fresh bath of neutral-pH cleaning solution.
4.Soak the burs for at least 10 minutes in water.
5.Brush the body thoroughly with the cleaning agent while submerged for at least a minute.
6. Avoid spraying or splashing while brushing to prevent the spread of pollutants.
7. Use wire brushes carefully to prevent galvanic corrosion from occurring from brass particles and stainless steel discolouration from steel particles.
8.Be extra careful when properly cleaning crevices and other difficult-to-reach spots.
9. Visually check to ensure that all debris has been removed. If necessary, repeat the cycle.
10. Rinse the burs and bur blocks thoroughly in warm, running water for at least a minute, or until they are clearly clean.
11. Use non-shedding wipes or clean compressed air to dry the burs.
1. Create a brand-new cleaning solution with a pH of 0
2. Insert the carbide burs into the sonicator.
3. Adhere to the manufacturer's recommendations for the appropriate concentration, exposure time, and the water's quality and temperature.
4.Fully immerse it in the cleaning solution, then sonicate it for at least 15 minutes.
5. Execute a last thorough rinse for at least a minute under running warm tap water.
6.Confirm the elimination of material visually, and then repeat the process as necessary.
7.Dry it with non-shedding wipes or clean compressed air.
1. Thoroughly check each bur to make sure that all trash has been taken out.
2. Visually check the burs for wear or damage that would interfere with its correct operation.
3. If the tip is broken, do not use.
4.A flute with a fractured portion should not be used.
5.Use caution if rust is visible.
1. Ensure that the maximum load specified by the sterilizer's manufacturer is not exceeded.
2. To guarantee that the burs won't be left moist, the minimum dry time has been certified.
3.Failure to reach the required dry time may result in moisture, which may promote corrosion.
