Bud Dental Burs

Shop German-made bud dental burs — a teardrop-shaped head, rounder and shorter than a football bur, built for controlled contouring in tight interproximal and occlusal spaces. This collection includes Busch carbide cutters for clinical and laboratory use plus fine-crosscut finishing burs, primarily on the HP (2.35 mm) shank with FG finishing options.

The compact bud shape reaches where longer instruments can't, making it a go-to for opening and shaping proximal contacts, refining occlusal anatomy, and general laboratory model trimming.
