As a dedicated dental professional, your commitment to precision and efficiency is paramount. To achieve the flawless results your patients expect, you need instruments that are engineered for excellence. The Conical Pointed Slender 164 Diamond Bur from Osung USA is one such premium tool, designed to elevate your restorative and prosthetic procedures.

This detailed guide will explore the unique features, ideal usage, material composition, and key benefits of this high-performance bur, ensuring you harness its full potential for best performance in your practice.

Dental Instrument Categorical Hierarchy: Placing the 164 Bur

To understand the role of the 164 bur, it's helpful to see where it fits within the larger scope of dental instruments:

  1. Instrument Category: Rotary Cutting Instruments

  2. Sub-Category: Dental Burs

  3. Material Type: Diamond Burs (utilizing a stainless steel shank coated with electroplated natural diamonds)

  4. Shank Type: Friction Grip (FG) - Indicates use in a high-speed handpiece.

  5. Head Shape/ISO Number: Conical Pointed, Slender (ISO 164)

    The ISO 164 designation is key, marking this bur as a slender, tapered shape that comes to a fine point, making it distinct from other popular shapes like round, pear, or flat-end tapers.

Features of the Conical Pointed Slender 164 Diamond Bur

The unique geometry and construction of the ISO 164 bur are what make it indispensable for detailed work:

Feature Detail Impact on Performance
Shape (ISO 164) Conical Pointed, Slender Taper Provides precise control for intricate details and excellent visibility. The taper is ideal for creating proper wall angulations.
Material Composition Stainless Steel Shank, Natural Diamond Coating Stainless steel ensures shank stability, while natural diamonds offer superior, long-lasting cutting efficacy and abrasion compared to synthetic diamonds.
Grit Size Options Available in Fine (Red), Medium (Blue), Extra Fine (Yellow), etc. Offers versatility for different procedural steps—coarser grits for bulk reduction, and finer grits for final smoothing and polishing.
Shank Type Friction Grip (FG) Designed for secure retention in high-speed handpieces, maximizing cutting speed and efficiency.
Head Diameter Range Available in various head diameters (e.g., 0.7mm to 1.4mm)

Allows for selection based on the specific required depth and width of the preparation, from fine margin work to broader reduction.

 

Usage and Applications: Where the 164 Bur Shines

 

The Conical Pointed Slender 164 Diamond Bur is a true workhorse, particularly favored for procedures demanding accuracy and delicate contouring:

  • Crown and Veneer Preparation: The slender, tapered shape is excellent for creating precise axial wall reductions and defining the finish line of the preparation. Its pointed tip is perfect for establishing a chamfer or modified shoulder margin with exceptional clarity and smoothness.

  • Precise Margin Shaping: The bur's pointed tip allows for the delicate refinement of gingival and proximal margins, crucial for the longevity and aesthetic success of restorations.

  • Finishing and Contouring: When used in its finer grit variant (Fine or Extra-Fine), the 164 bur is ideal for final smoothing of composite, porcelain, or ceramic restorations to achieve an anatomically accurate and highly polished surface.

  • Interproximal Reduction (IPR): The slender nature of the bur can be utilized for controlled enamel removal in orthodontic cases requiring IPR.
