| CARBIDE FINISHING BUR | Fine finishing of a composite resin material |
| DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DIAMOND AND CARBIDE BURS | a) Tungsten Carbide steel Burs are good for cutting, cutting Bones (surgical), metal crowns etc. b) Diamond Burs as diamond powder, good as grinder, as well as cutting zirconia or metal crowns. Hence, for most dental surgical operations, Tungsten Carbide Burs are used and for other basic filling and crown and bridge, veneers etc. Diamond Burs are much better in operation |
