It can be difficult to ensure you’re utilizing the right mix of dental burs in your office. Single-use and multi-use burs each offer unique pros and cons, so it’s important to find a balance between the two in your armamentarium.
While reusable burs are more environmentally friendly and last longer, disposable burs eliminate the stresses of sterilization and figuring out when the bur is too dull.
Some doctors are wary of including disposable burs in their offices. However, incorporating single-use options can save time and money. You don’t have to meticulously sterilize your burs after every use. As covered in a previous
post, there are a lot of steps and processes to ensure your reusable burs are properly sterilized. When you’re having a busy week and can’t find the time to sterilize your burs, single-use burs come in handy.
“I don’t have to second guess when the bur is sharp or dull with single-use instruments,” said Matt Nejad, D.D.S. “I also love the overall hygienic benefit. With single-use burs, you know they’re sterile.”
Dr. Nejad, a biomimetic and esthetic dentist practicing in Beverly Hills, CA, exclusively uses Komet USA’s single-use burs.
“I was somewhat limited in my single-use options before switching to Komet,” said Dr. Nejad. “Not only does Komet have more options, but it’s easy to identify which bur is which because they’re labeled.”
