MiK Comprehensive Crown And Bridge Preparation Bur Kit

MiK Comprehensive Crown and Bridge Preparation Bur Kit offers a tailored solution for dental professionals, meticulously crafted to Dr. Moez I. Khakiani's exacting standards. This 14-piece gold series burs set covers all aspects of crown and bridge preparations with precision and efficiency. Each bur is designed with specific features to address different stages of tooth preparation, from shaping margins to reducing occlusal surfaces. The kit's standout feature is its base, which doubles as a template engraved with bur specifications, ensuring accurate guidance during procedures. Additionally, the burs are coated with a fortifying layer for longevity and ease of use. With its autoclavable nature and vibrant color combinations, this kit combines functionality with aesthetic appeal, making it an indispensable tool in any dental setup.

MS 1.0:- Modified Shoulder bur, with a 1.0 mm tip diameter, minimizes stress concentrations at preparation margins. Its flat tip and rounded edges ensure smooth transitions, ideal for buccal/labial margins in PFM prostheses.

DC 1.0:- Deep Chamfer bur, with a 1.0 mm tip diameter, is utilized at half its depth to prevent enamel lip formation. It creates a precise 0.5 mm groove, ideal for lingual/palatal margins in PFM prostheses with metal collars, and for all margins in monolithic zirconia or metal prostheses, including PLV preparation.

MS 1.3F:- This is a Modified Shoulder Finishing bur with a tip diameter of 1.3 mm. This bur is used by sinking the tip slightly short of its full depth, thereby developing a margin that is 1-1.2 mm in width. Use: For finishing buccal/ labial and proximal margins when preparing the tooth for a PFM prosthesis.

DC 1.2F:- Deep Chamfer Finishing bur, featuring a 1.2 mm tip diameter, is utilized at half its depth to prevent enamel lip formation. It creates a precise 0.5-0.6 mm deep chamfer margin, ideal for finishing lingual/palatal margins in PFM prostheses with metal collars. Additionally, it's used for finishing all prepared margins in monolithic zirconia or metal prostheses and for proximal and palatal/lingual margins in PFZ or LiDiSi prostheses, particularly for anterior teeth.

DC 1.4:- This is a Deep Chamfer bur with a tip diameter of 1.4 mm. This bur is also to be used only half its depth. Thus when used correctly, it leaves a 0.5-0.7 mm deep chamfer margin. Use: For preparing all the margins (360°) when planning for a PFZ or a LiDiSi prosthesis.

DC 1.8F:- This is a Deep Chamfer Finishing bur with a tip diameter of 1.8 mm. This bur is also to be used only half its depth. Thus when used correctly, it leaves a 0.8-0.9 mm deep chamfer margin. Use: For finishing the buccal/labial aspect when preparing a tooth for a PFZ or a LiDiSi prosthesis.

MI 0.8:- Modified Interdental bur, featuring a 0.8 mm tip diameter, is designed with a safe-ended tip to prevent slipping gingivally during interproximal reduction. This feature minimizes gouging of margins and trauma to the gingival col, common issues in such procedures. When using this bur, it's crucial to begin above the interdental papilla on the buccal/labial aspect and then proceed across the interproximal tooth structure. It's particularly useful for opening interproximal contacts when preparing teeth for PFM prostheses, especially in molars.

MI 0.5:- This is a Modified Interdental bur with a tip diameter of 0.5 mm. This bur is also safe-ended and is to be used in the same manner as that described for the MI 0.8 bur. Use: For opening interproximal contacts when preparing the tooth for a PFZ, a LiDiSi, a monolithic metal, or a monolithic zirconia prosthesis, especially for anterior and premolar teeth.

OR 1.6:- This is an occlusal reduction bur with a diameter of 1.6 mm through its entire length (straight bur). It is used by sinking the bur to its full depth, ensuring the bur follows the preexisting cuspal incline; thereby allowing anatomic reduction of the occlusal aspect. Use: For occlusal reduction of the functional cusps when preparing a tooth for a PFM prosthesis.

OR 1.2 This is an occlusal reduction bur with a diameter of 1.2 mm through its entire length (straight bur). Uses: For occlusal reduction of non-functional cusps when preparing a tooth for a PFM prosthesis. Also used for reducing the entire occlusal table (both, functional and nonfunctional cusps) when preparing a tooth to receive a PFZ, a LiDiSi, a monolithic metal, or a monolithic zirconia prosthesis.

CR 2.3:- This is a Cingulum Reduction bur with a diameter of 2.3 mm at its widest circumference. It is used by positioning the bur such that its widest portion sits into the deepest concavity on the palatal/ lingual aspect of the tooth being prepared. Use: For reduction of the lingual fossa when preparing the tooth for a PFZ, a LiDiSi, or a PFM-facing prosthesis, especially maxillary lateral incisors and mandibular anterior.

CR 2.8:- This is a Cingulum Reduction bur with a diameter of 2.8 mm at its widest circumference. This bur is used following the same protocol as that mentioned for the CR 2.3 bur. Use: For reduction of the lingual fossa when preparing for a PFM prosthesis, especially maxillary central incisors and maxillary canines.

EC 1.4F:- This is an End Cutting Finishing bur with a tip diameter of 1.4 mm. This bur has diamonds incorporated only at its tip and has a non-cutting shank. The non-cutting shank of the bur allows for it to be used on proximal surfaces of the prepared tooth, without the fear of inadvertent damage to the adjacent teeth. This bur is to be used with pull strokes only, as a push stroke carries the risk of plowing/ digging the bur into the prepared margin. Use: For removing irregular/unsupported tooth structure around the prepared margins.
