Finishing Carbides Color-Coding Guide

Rather than diamond burs that grind material, tungsten carbide burs cut. They are typically used on composites.

Tungsten carbide dental burs are usually thought to be used for cavity preparations and shaping bone, but they can also be used for finishing and trimming.

As you start to be more precise during your procedures, you need a carbide with more flutes. Komet USA has created a Finishing Carbide Color-Code System so you can complete your procedures with ease.
