Fine Grit PERIO PRO Diamonds
The fine grit Busch Periodontal PERIO PRO Diamond Bur is ideal for the gentle removal of supra- and subgingival tartar and concrements. These diamonds are also perfectly suited for odontoplasty — the precise removal of natural plaque retention sites — as well as pre-cleaning of intraalveolar bone pockets and thorough root cleaning.
Extra Fine Grit PERIO PRO Diamonds
Designed for final root smoothing, even in the early stages of furcation involvement, the extra fine grit variant excels at smoothing the root cementum on periodontally damaged teeth. It also enables gentle removal of excess cement following the placement of fixed dentures.
