Periodontal Burs by Busch

Periodontal Burs by Busch brings together the complete Busch & Co. range of rotary instruments purpose-built for non-surgical periodontal therapy — PERIO PRO diamond burs, LongLife PERIO-PRO carbide burs, and ROTO-PRO rotosonic scaling burs — in a single collection. Every instrument here is engineered in Germany for the same goal: removing calculus and smoothing the root surface without damaging healthy tooth structure or soft tissue.

Three Bur Technologies, One Periodontal Range

PERIO PRO Diamond Burs use a fine or extra fine diamond grit for gentle removal of supra- and subgingival tartar, odontoplasty, and final root smoothing. LongLife PERIO-PRO Carbide Burs use an edge-free polygonal working part in finest-grain carbide for calculus removal and root surface smoothing across two working-part lengths and two ISO sizes. ROTO-PRO Rotosonic Burs apply the same non-cutting polygonal principle at high speed, producing rapid rotary micro-vibrations — rotary ultrasonics — that fracture calculus deposits while leaving enamel and root surface unharmed.

Key Features

• Complete Periodontal Coverage: Diamond, carbide, and rotosonic options in one collection, so you can match the instrument to the case rather than search three separate categories.
• Edge-Free, Tissue-Friendly Design: The carbide and rotosonic burs use a non-cutting polygonal working part; the diamond burs use a fine/extra fine grit — both engineered to protect root surface and soft tissue.
• Supra- and Subgingival Use: Suited to calculus and concrement removal above and below the gumline, plus root smoothing and odontoplasty.
• Standard RA/FG Shanks: Compatible with the contra-angle and high-speed handpieces already in your operatory.
• Made in Germany by Busch & Co., a name in dental rotary instruments since 1905.

Applications

Use the diamond and carbide burs for routine non-surgical periodontal therapy — scaling, root planing, and root surface smoothing, including early furcation involvement — and for odontoplasty and excess cement removal around fixed restorations. Reach for the ROTO-PRO rotosonic burs when a rotary handpiece is more practical than hand or ultrasonic scaling but the same tissue-sparing control is still required, particularly for close-to-the-gumline calculus removal.

Why Choose Busch?

Busch & Co. has manufactured precision rotary dental instruments in Engelskirchen, Germany since 1905. Every bur in this collection — diamond, carbide, or rotosonic — is produced in-house to the same exacting tolerances, giving periodontists, hygienists, and general practitioners a single trusted source for periodontal bur instrumentation.

FAQ

What's the difference between the diamond, carbide, and ROTO-PRO burs in this collection? The diamond burs use an abrasive grit (fine or extra fine) for controlled removal and smoothing. The carbide and ROTO-PRO burs use a non-cutting, edge-free polygonal working part instead of a grit or cutting edge — ROTO-PRO is designed to run at higher rotary speeds for a rotosonic scaling effect.

Which bur should I use below the gumline? All three technologies are designed for supra- and subgingival use; product pages list the specific indication and reach for each item.

Are these burs compatible with my handpiece? Yes — the burs in this collection use standard RA (contra-angle) or FG (friction grip) shanks.

Who manufactures these burs? Busch & Co. GmbH, a German dental rotary instrument manufacturer since 1905.
