Key Features and Benefits

• Corundum Abrasive Construction: Corundum, a naturally hard crystalline form of aluminium oxide, provides excellent abrasive properties suited for grinding, shaping, and finishing dental restorations and appliances.
• Precision Manufacturing: Each wheel is produced to tight tolerances, ensuring balanced rotation, reduced vibration, and predictable results during laboratory procedures.
• Versatile Application: Suitable for use on metals, acrylics, ceramics, and other common dental laboratory materials, making them a flexible addition to any lab setup.
• Durable Performance: Designed for extended service life under regular laboratory conditions, helping to reduce tool replacement frequency and overall costs.
• Busch Quality Assurance: Busch instruments are recognized internationally for their consistent quality standards, giving dental technicians confidence in every use.

Clinical Use

These pink unmounted corundum wheels are laboratory instruments, mounted on a mandrel or lathe for grinding and contouring before polishing.

Dental Laboratory Corundum Abrasive Wheels are commonly used for grinding and contouring metal frameworks, trimming acrylic bases, smoothing ceramic surfaces, and preparing restorations prior to polishing. Their consistent grit structure ensures uniform material removal without excessive heat generation, which is critical for protecting the integrity of delicate dental work.

Care and Reconditioning

Clean, disinfect and sterilize the wheels and their mandrels between uses following the manufacturer instructions, and replace an instrument once it loses cutting or polishing performance or shows damage. Our Dental Bur Reprocessing & Sterilization Guide covers the workflow for Busch rotary instruments; maximum speeds are in the Dental Bur Speed Chart.
