SS WHITE FG CARBIDE BURS #170 PKG.10
Vendor: SS White
SKU: ISS16B
Product Description:
The SS White FG-170 is a precision-focused carbide bur designed for shaping the vertical walls of a cavity preparation. While it shares the same tapered body and flat tip as the smaller #169, the #170 is slightly wider, providing more stability for larger restorations.
In my own words, this bur is the "architect" of the dental tray. It is specifically built to create the perfect "draw"—the subtle outward angle on the walls of a tooth—that allows a crown or bridge to slide into place without getting stuck. The flat end acts like a miniature floor-leveler, ensuring the base of the prep is perfectly square and even. Because it features plain-cut blades, it doesn't "saw" into the tooth aggressively; instead, it shaves the surface to a smooth, polished finish that is ideal for a precise fit and strong bonding.
It is a high-speed staple for crown and bridge work, where creating exact angles and clean internal geometry is the priority.
Key Advantages:
- Accurate Tapering: Designed to create the specific wall angles needed for lab-made restorations.
- Level Foundations: The flat tip creates a stable, horizontal floor for the filling to sit on.
- Refined Finish: Plain-cut blades offer a "chatter-free" experience and a smooth surface.
- Long-Lasting Sharpness: Made from high-grade tungsten carbide to maintain its shape over multiple uses.
