SS WHITE FG CARBIDE BURS #171 L PKG.10
Vendor: SS White
SKU: ISS171L
Product Description:
The SS White FG-171L is the "extended reach" version of the standard 171 tapered bur. It features the same tapered body and flat tip, but with an elongated head and neck designed to provide deeper access into the tooth structure.
In my own words, this bur is the "long-reach architect" for deep restorative work. It is specifically designed for situations where a standard-length bur might be too short to reach the base of a deep cavity or the long walls of a large molar. The extra length allows for better visibility and control when shaping the "draw" (the taper) of a preparation deep inside the mouth. Because it uses plain-cut blades, it shaves the tooth smoothly rather than sawing it, leaving a clean, polished surface that is essential for a precise fitting crown or bridge.
It is a high-speed essential for deep crown and bridge preparations where precision and extra reach are required simultaneously.
Key Advantages:
- Deep Access: The elongated profile allows for shaping deep axial walls without the handpiece blocking your line of sight.
- Precision Foundations: The flat tip creates a squared-off, level floor at the base of deep preps.
- Bond-Ready Polish: Plain-cut blades provide a smooth finish that is ideal for impression-taking and bonding.
- Enhanced Stability: Crafted from premium carbide to ensure the longer neck remains stable and vibration-free at high speeds.
