SS WHITE FG CARBIDE BURS #169 PKG.10
Vendor: SS White
SKU: ISS16A
Product Description:
The SS White FG-169 is a precision-focused carbide bur designed for fine-tuned operative work. Unlike wider burs meant for heavy drilling, the #169 features a slender, tapered body with a flat tip, making it the "detail brush" of the dental world.
In my own words, this is the tool you reach for when you need to create sharp, well-defined walls and flat floors in smaller, more delicate cavity preparations. Its narrow profile allows for incredible control when carving "undercuts"—the tiny grooves that help lock a filling in place—without removing more tooth than necessary. Because it uses plain-cut blades (smooth rather than serrated), it doesn't "jump" or vibrate, giving you a clean, polished surface that is perfect for precise bonding.
It is a high-speed staple for conservative dentistry, where the goal is to be as precise and minimally invasive as possible.
Key Advantages:
- Detailed Shaping: The slim taper is ideal for fine-tuning the margins and vertical walls of small preps.
- Clean Geometry: The flat end creates a perfectly level floor and sharp internal angles.
- Ultra-Smooth Cutting: Plain-cut blades provide a chatter-free experience for superior tactile feedback.
- Durable Build: Made from fine-grain tungsten carbide to ensure the narrow tip stays sharp and resists snapping.
