Carbide Burs

For decades, Midwest has set the standard for operative burs. Clinicians' confidence in these burs' efficiency and reliability is based on Midwest's custom blending formula and on sintering a superior product that cuts quickly without clogging. Strict manufacturing controls placed on size, shape, blade configuration, and concentricity produce high-quality burs.

In addition to the wide range of round, pear, and fissure shapes, diameters, and head length, these burs are available in the following shank types:

• Friction Grip (FG)
• Friction Grip Oral Surgical (FGOS)
• Friction Grip/Short Shank (FGSS)
• Handpiece, Straight (HP)
• Handpiece Oral Surgical (HPOS)
• Latch (LA)
• Latch Oral Surgical (LAOS)

These multi-use burs are designed for optimal efficiency and versatility. Smoother cutting without blade clogging is possible with the high-density crosscuts in the blades. The Midwest MultiPrep Aggressive Cutting Carbide Burs are available in a comprehensive selection of shapes and sizes to meet all clinical needs. Cutting through metals, porcelains, composites, and natural dentition is made easy and precise.  You can sterilize these burs and remain confident in their gold-plated shank resisting corrosion.

Midwest Trimming and Finishing Carbide Burs are available in 12 and 30 blade configurations and have gold shanks to resist corrosion during sterilization. Fine cutting edges and longer efficient use are the results of Midwest’s custom blending and sintering. 

Trimming and finishing burs have multiple clinical applications, including:

• Smoothing the walls of a prepared tooth
• Finishing and polishing composite restorations
• Finishing and polishing porcelain restorations
• Recontouring tooth structure (enameloplasty, odontoplasty)
• Recontouring soft tissue
• Removing orthodontic bonding adhesive

Optimum esthetic results require a set of premium rotary finishing burs. Midwest provides these in 21 anatomically adapted shaped carbide finishing burs to meet every clinical challenge. These are offered in regular and short shanks and are available with safe end tips for precise finishing while protecting soft tissue. Optimized blade geometry and design offer improved access to all areas of anterior and posterior teeth.

Midwest Once Sterile Carbide Burs offer the advantages of reduced risk of patient cross-contamination, the confidence of a perfectly sharp bur every time, and minimized risk of bur breakage. Save time and money with these highly efficient, sterile, and individually packaged burs. Get the quality you expect from Midwest in standard operatory, trimming and finishing, surgical and specialty configurations. 

Endodontic access is one of the keys to successful root canal therapy. Straight-line access to all canals is made easier with the Lexicon Multi-Bur. This tungsten carbide bur removes dentin that hinders hand and rotary cleaning and shaping during the endodontic procedure. Using this bur during endodontic access results in cleaner canal walls, considerable time savings, and a higher success rate related to clean canals. The Lexicon Multi-Bur can also be used to separate and amputate fractured roots. These burs are available in 23mm length and sold in packs of 3.

Protecting adjacent tooth structure during interproximal tooth reduction is a clinical challenge. This is especially true when faced with limited access due to tooth position or patient’s inability to open sufficiently. This easy-to-store bur kit helps solve this problem with a set of autoclavable carbide stripping and diamond finishing Safe-Tipped Burs.
