Veterinary Dental Instrument Comparison Chart

Find the closest Helmut Zepf pattern or Busch bur for Cislak, iM3, Dentalaire, Integra Miltex and GerVetUSA veterinary dental instruments. Click any item number to go straight to that product page.

No representation is made as to product interchangeability — each manufacturer has their own unique processes, materials, and specifications. Where a tip size differs, the row lists the closest Helmut Zepf size.

Matches are by instrument pattern and working-tip size. Helmut Zepf does not make a winged elevator, so winged rows point to the closest straight root elevator by width. For instrument types, see our Dental Elevator Types Guide; for veterinary collections and canine and feline picks, see our Veterinary Dental Instruments hub.
