Key Design Features
-
Specially arranged aperture slits characterize the working part of each instrument. These slits promote excellent air circulation during grinding, actively preventing material overheating.
-
Anti-clogging performance: The reduction in heat generation also prevents the instrument from clogging, maintaining consistent cutting efficiency throughout use.
-
One-piece construction: The instruments' one-piece design guarantees precise concentric running and contributes to a long service life, delivering reliable performance over extended use.
Expanded Shape Range
The DiaTWISTER Dental Lab Bur collection now includes both the established cylindrically rounded shape and an expanded conically rounded shape. This addition allows Busch to offer the most appropriate instrument for each user's individual working technique, ensuring versatility across a wide range of dental laboratory applications.
Clinical Use
DiaTWISTER burs are dental laboratory instruments for the straight handpiece, used for grinding acrylic dentures and appliances and for trimming plaster and stone models, where the aperture slits keep the acrylic from overheating and the bur from clogging.
Care and Reconditioning
Clean, disinfect and sterilize the instruments between uses following the manufacturer instructions and the symbols on each package, and replace an instrument once it is worn, out of round or no longer cuts evenly. Our Dental Bur Reprocessing & Sterilization Guide covers the workflow for Busch rotary instruments; maximum speeds are in the Dental Bur Speed Chart.
