Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between FG, RA and HP burs?
The letters describe the shank. FG burs fit high speed handpieces, RA burs lock into slow speed contra angles and HP burs fit straight handpieces used chairside and in the lab.
When should I use a carbide bur instead of a diamond?
Carbide burs cut with blades and are a common choice for cavity preps and removing old restorations. Diamonds grind with an abrasive surface and are widely used for crown preps and reducing enamel and ceramics.
What is an FGOS surgical bur?
An FGOS bur is a friction grip bur with a longer surgical length shank for oral surgery. Cargus FGOS burs are available in round and fissure shapes, including 557, 558 and 701 to 703.
