Dentistree Products ~ SS White Burs

SS White® proudly announces SMARTBURS® II, the next generation of SMARTBURS® instruments, redesigned and improved and now at a lower price. SMARTBURS® II instruments are an effective caries removal bur for dentists who wish to conserve healthy dentin, save teeth from unnecessary root canal procedures and reduce patient post-operative sensitivity.

SS White’s SMARTBURS® II are the only rotary cutting instruments that selectively remove carious dentin, leaving healthy dentin intact.

SMARTBURS® II are patented¹, single-patient-use instruments constructed from a medical grade, glass bead-reinforced polymer. The SMARTBURS® II polymer blades are precisely designed to remove soft, carious dentin and are engineered to deform as they encounter harder, healthy dentin. The inherent mission of SMARTBURS® II instruments is to ‘do no harm’ to healthy dentin.

SMARTBURS® II instruments offer a more comfortable and less invasive alternative to conventional decay removal with carbide burs or diamond instruments in deep lesions.

• SMARTBURS® II instruments conserve the healthy shelf of dentin that overlies the pulp chamber thereby protecting the pulp from exposure.²

• Since SMARTBURS® II instruments only remove carious dentin, they minimize trauma to healthy dentinal tubules, thereby reducing post-operative sensitivity.

• For patients who cannot, or will not, tolerate local anesthesia, SMARTBURS® II instruments provide the clinician with a means to reduce the patient’s pain and sensitivity during deep lesion caries removal.

Compared to original SMARTBURS®, SMARTBURS® II instruments address the clinician’s need for more cost effective instruments with a longer service life.  SMARTBURS® II instruments are made for use at standard slow handpiece speeds of up to 15,000 rpm, with even longer instrument service life gained at slower speeds of 5,000-10,000 rpm.  By comparison, original SMARTBURS® instruments were intended for use at 800 rpm. SMARTBURS® II instrument shapes have also been resized.

¹ U.S. Patent Nos. 6,106,291 and 6,347,941.
² Under normal use and in accordance with instructions where a zone of healthy dentin exists.
