Non-Cutting Tip Carbide Burs | Busch 152Z Safe-End Burs

Busch Non-Cutting Tip Carbide Bur

A non-cutting tip carbide bur is a carbide bur whose rounded tip has no blades, so it cuts only on its sides and cannot gouge the pulpal floor. This collection holds two Busch FG carbide burs with a non-cutting tip: the No. 152Z endo taper round bur (015) and the No. 448 subgingival finishing bur (014) — both made in Germany and shipping from our US warehouse.

The safe-end Busch No. 152Z features a non-cutting tip that allows smooth, efficient excavation of carious dentin while protecting the pulp floor and axial walls. Ideal for minimally invasive dentistry, deep caries removal, and precise finishing near the pulp chamber. The No. 448 carries a non-cutting tip on a subgingival finishing bur, for finishing below the gingival margin.

Which Non-Cutting Tip Carbide Bur Do You Need?

Reach for the 152Z for endodontic access refinement and deep caries excavation, and the 448 for finishing below the gingival margin. Both are FG shank, packs of 2.

Clinical Use

The non-cutting tip lets the clinician refine an endodontic access or excavate deep carious dentin with the lateral blades while the smooth tip rests on the pulpal floor or axial wall, reducing the risk of pulp exposure in minimally invasive and deep-caries work. The 448 subgingival finishing bur, which also has a non-cutting tip, finishes margins below the gingiva; run both at the recommended speed — see our Dental Bur Speed Chart.
