Busch ROTO-PRO Bur | Busch No. 401 016 | Pack of 6
Orthodontic Burs from Busch & Co. GmbH are precision-engineered rotary instruments designed to support efficient and reliable dental procedures. The Busch ROTO-PRO Orthodontic Burs (Mfg. No. 401 016) are specifically suitable for the removal of adhesive residues after bracket treatment, making them an essential tool in any orthodontic practice.
About ROTO-PRO Technology
ROTO-PRO dental instruments feature a polygonal working part without sharp edges, engineered to treat dental surfaces safely without injuring hard tooth structures or adjacent soft tissues.
When mounted in a high-speed handpiece, these multi-sided (typically 6- to 8-sided) non-cutting burs produce rapid rotary micro-vibrations — often referred to as rotary ultrasonics. This design creates a fracturing effect that safely shatters hard materials or residues while leaving the underlying tooth enamel unharmed.
Multi-Disciplinary Applications
Because they feature non-cutting edges, ROTO-PRO instruments are highly versatile across multiple dental specialties:
- Orthodontics: Heavily utilized for orthodontic residue removal, specifically for sweeping away leftover composite adhesive after brackets are debonded.
- Periodontics: Used as rotosonic scalers to break down and remove tough calculus deposits from tooth surfaces and below the gumline without gouging the root surface.
- Restorative Dentistry & Fixed Prosthodontics: Ideal for removing temporary cement, cleaning crown preparations, and finishing vertical margins (such as the Biologically Oriented Preparation Technique, or B.O.P.T.) without damaging the surrounding gingival tissues.
