Flame Burs & Diamonds

Flame instruments — slender, pointed heads — reach where wider shapes cannot: interproximal embrasures, gingival margins, and subgingival contours. The collection includes multi-blade carbide finishers and diamonds from coarse through extra fine.

A flame is only as good as its tip concentricity; Busch’s German grinding keeps these delicate points running true, protecting adjacent tooth structure during margin refinement.

FAQ

What is a flame bur used for? Interproximal finishing, gingival margin refinement, and contouring in embrasure areas where access is tight.

Carbide or diamond flame? Carbide finishing flames leave the smoothest surface on composite and dentine; diamond flames in fine and extra fine grits excel on enamel and ceramics.

Where are these instruments made? Every instrument in this collection is manufactured by Busch & Co. in Engelskirchen, Germany — an ISO 13485-certified specialist in rotary precision instruments since 1905 — and ships fast from our US warehouse.
