Types of Carbide Bur ShanksⅠ

Published on Friday, 25 September 2015 18:40

The three main types of shanks are Friction Grip (FG), Right Angle (RA) (also known as Latch-Type), and Hand piece (HP). It is important to know which type of shank you want when choosing a bur because each type is designed to fit into a certain type of hand piece.

1. FRICTION GRIP (STANDARD LENGTH) (FG)

•For use in high speed hand pieces and friction grip low speed contra angle heads.

•Has the smallest diameter shank of all the types of carbide burs; the end of the shank is smooth and is held in place in the hand piece by friction against a chuck.

•The most commonly used operative bur in many offices.

2. FRICTION GRIP (SHORT SHANK) (FG SS)

•For use in high speed handpieces (with miniature heads ONLY) and friction grip low speed contra angle heads.

•Has a shank that is the same diameter as a standard friction grip bur but is almost 20% shorter; also held in place in the handpiece by friction.

•For use when better access to the posterior region is needed, especially when patients cannot open their mouths wide enough.
