For dentists who need precise control at low speed, a stainless steel bur gives a reliable feel for selective dentine removal and gentle soft tissue work while keeping everyday costs down.
The steel bur dental range is compatible with slow-speed handpieces, maintaining tactile feedback for precise, selective dentine removal.
Steel Burs for Everyday Dentistry
Steel burs are chosen when you want control and a smooth feel. At low speed, they track carious dentin without grabbing sound enamel, so you can shape conservatively and keep margins tidy before finishing. They are also handy for soft tissue tasks where a delicate touch is needed. For busy sessions, many clinicians pair a stainless steel bur with Anaesthetic and isolation so patients stay comfortable while you work through recalls and emergencies.
What’s in the Steel Bur Range?
You’ll find features that support predictable, precise cutting:
-
constructed from high-quality stainless steel
-
head shapes, including round, fissure, pear and cone
-
designed for low-speed, precision-controlled cutting
-
ideal for conservative preparation and finishing tasks.
These options make it simple to match the bur to the job.
Shapes, Shanks and Workflow Efficiency
Round heads help with caries removal in deep pits, fissure shapes guide access and smoothing in boxes, and pear options support conservative cavity design.
A stainless steel bur is also useful for finishing margins on composite before you move to polishing. When higher cutting efficiency is required, switch to Tungsten Carbide Burs for rapid reduction, then return to steel for tactile refinement and smoothing.
Most patterns are supplied in RA (latch) for slow-speed contra-angle use, which preserves tactile feedback for selective dentin removal.
Shank and head sizing are easy to standardise across trays, so paediatric, restorative and periodontal sets stay consistent.
Burs tolerate routine sterilisation cycles, and bulk-pack options make stocking straightforward for high-throughput clinics.
