Diamond burs are notoriously diffi­cult to effectively clean and sterilize. Therefore, the FDA warns that diamond burs should only be considered multi-use if the manufacturer has a 510K for re-processing. Also, the CDC warns that “Cleaning and heat sterilization can lead to deterioration on the cutting surfaces and raise the potential for breakage during patient treatment.” With that in mind, why spend five to 10 times the cost for a “multi-use” diamond? DEFEND single-use diamond burs are high quality, cost around $1, and meet all FDA and CDC recommendations. DEFEND Diamond Burs are manufactured with German electroplating technology. With minimal pressure required on turbine, these burs are designed to offer maximum precision and minimum vibration.

DEFEND Carbide and Diamond Burs are long-lasting, durable and cost-effective. These products are available through most dental distributors. View the new catalog online at www.defend.com/burs or call 1-800-275-0020.
