The Best Metal-Crown Cutting Burs

October 27, 2022 blog01

The quality of your metal crown-cutting bur matters. Choose Komet to know that you’re using the best option on the market when cutting metal crowns.  

Metal crowns have the advantage of being exceptionally strong because they take longer to wear down and very rarely break due to biting or chewing. Metal crowns can be made of stainless steel or a variety of metal alloys that are highly resistant to corrosion. Because of their color, metal crowns are used for molars that are in the back of the mouth. 
 

A common alternative to all-metal crowns are porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) crowns. With PFM crowns, patients have the strength of metal with a porcelain overlay that can match the color of their teeth.  
 

Most of the time, metal crowns must be removed in sections to minimize the chance of breaking the underlying tooth. It’s necessary to choose special metal-cutting burs when completing this procedure to prevent that from happening.
  

Komet USA offers metal-crown cutting burs to ensure you get the job done effectively.
