Design and Construction
The 164 LA Bone Cutter Oral Surgery Bur features a distinctively long, slender neck paired with a correspondingly slim working part — a filigree instrument design that grants surgeons exceptional access and control in confined intraoral spaces. Its FG shank configuration ensures compatibility with standard high-speed handpieces, making it straightforward to integrate into existing surgical workflows. The fine-grain carbide construction delivers consistent cutting performance and longevity, even under the demands of repeated sterilization cycles.
Clinical Advantages
- Minimal invasive preparation of hard tooth substance and bone tissue
- Long slender neck for access in anatomically challenging sites
- Fine-grain carbide material for durability and precise cutting
- Slim working part for tissue-sparing preparation
- FG shank for compatibility with standard surgical handpieces
Clinicians who require exacting control during osseous procedures will find the 164 LA Bone Cutter Oral Surgery Bur to be an indispensable instrument. Its geometry is optimized to remove bone or tooth substance efficiently while minimizing trauma to adjacent soft and hard tissues — a critical factor in modern, patient-centered surgical practice.
Clinical Use
The 164LA 012 is a Busch carbide bone cutter for oral surgery. Its long, slender neck and slim working part are designed for minimally invasive preparation of hard tooth substance or bone tissue, such as wisdom tooth exposure, tooth sectioning, apicoectomy and bone lid preparation, and the A-Cut gives low-vibration, controlled bone removal in a high-speed FG handpiece.
Care and Reconditioning
Clean, inspect and sterilize the bur after each use following the manufacturer instructions, and replace it when the cutting edges are worn or damaged. Our Dental Bur Reprocessing & Sterilization Guide covers the general workflow for Busch rotary instruments.
