Torpedo Burs & Diamonds | Chamfer Margin Shape

Torpedo instruments — tapers with an ogival, bullet-nosed end — cut axial reduction and a defined chamfer margin in one geometry. This collection includes the 857-family diamonds and gold-plated Cool Diamant torpedo figures across coarse, medium, and fine grits.

The torpedo’s rounded-point end forms the chamfer finish line as you prep, making it a favorite for full-coverage margins where a chamfer is the design of record.

FAQ

What is a torpedo bur used for? Crown preparation with a chamfer margin — the ogival end shapes the finish line while the taper handles axial reduction.

Torpedo vs. round end taper? Both prep chamfers; the torpedo’s more pointed ogival end cuts a more defined, narrower chamfer than the 856’s rounded end.

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.
