SS WHITE FG CARBIDE BUR 2 P
Vendor: SS White
SKU: ISS38
Product Description: The SS White FG-2 (Item #17666) is a foundational instrument in restorative dentistry. This standard-sized round bur is the universal "workhorse" for initial cavity entry and the removal of decayed tooth structure.
In my own words, the #2 is the go-to tool for the first stage of a filling. Its spherical head is perfectly sized to "plunge" into a cavity to open it up, making it easier to see and reach the decay inside. Because it is a plain-cut bur (meaning the blades are smooth), it shaves away the soft, damaged parts of a tooth with incredible precision and minimal vibration. This provides the dentist with excellent tactile feedback—essentially letting them "feel" the difference between healthy enamel and soft decay.
It is a high-speed essential for general operative work, prized for its balance of efficient cutting and smooth control.
Key Advantages
- Controlled Entry: The ideal size for initial penetration and opening of small to medium cavity preparations.
- Selective Removal: Efficiently clears out decay while providing the tactile sensitivity needed to protect healthy tooth structure.
- Stress-Free Geometry: The rounded shape ensures that the floor of the preparation remains smooth, preventing sharp internal angles.
- High-Speed Stability: Manufactured with exact concentricity to ensure a stable, "chatter-free" performance.
