SS WHITE FG CARBIDE BURS #1171 PKG.10
Vendor: SS White
SKU: ISS28
Product Description:
The SS White FG-1171 is a precision-engineered carbide bur designed for larger-scale restorative work and complex preparations. It features a tapered fissure body that narrows towards a dome-shaped (round) tip, providing a specialized geometry that allows for simultaneous side-wall tapering and smooth floor contouring.
In my own words, the #1171 serves as a high-efficiency tool for creating the specific "draw" or taper required for crowns and inlays. Its larger diameter compared to the #1170 makes it more effective for bulk removal in wider cavities. The rounded tip is a critical design element; it ensures that the internal corners of the preparation are smooth rather than sharp, which prevents stress from concentrating in one area and helps protect the tooth from future fractures. Because it is a plain-cut bur, it leaves behind a remarkably clean and polished surface, making it an excellent choice for dentists who want a smooth, bond-ready finish without the vibration of more aggressive cross-cut burs.
Key Advantages:
- Structural Safety: The rounded internal angles help the tooth better withstand the pressure of chewing.
- Precision Tapering: Ideally suited for shaping the axial walls of crown and bridge preparations.
- High-Quality Finish: The plain-cut blades provide a smooth surface for superior restorative adaptation.
- Durable Construction: Made from premium fine-grain tungsten carbide to ensure a long-lasting, sharp cutting edge.
