Key Specifications & Variants
The bur is available primarily in two size lengths under the friction grip (FG) standard: [
1,
2]
- FG-CER (Short): Features a 5.0 mm head length and a total bur length of 22.5 mm.
- FG-CEROS (Long): Features an 8.0 mm head length and a total bur length of 25.0 mm.
- Head Size: Commonly sized at 015 (1.5mm to 1.6mm diameter) with precision-engineered tip profiles
Clinical Advantages
- Hemostasis & Minimal Bleeding: Operating the ceramic tip dry creates friction-assisted heat that gently coagulates capillaries. This minimizes bleeding and keeps the treatment site highly visible. [1, 2, 3]
- No Tissue Burning: The specialized hard oxide porcelain structure separates soft tissue cleanly without causing thermal necrosis or burning. [1, 2]
- Biocompatible & Artifact-Free: It avoids metal ion release, ensuring clean healing margins
