What is the difference between diamond and carbide burs?

Diamond burs abrade tooth structure and are favored for cutting porcelain and finishing enamel, while carbide burs cut cleanly and are common for crown removal, amalgam, and surgical work. Most operatories keep both on hand.

How often should dental burs be replaced?

Single-use diamonds are discarded after one patient, while reusable burs are retired once cutting efficiency drops or wear is visible. Tracking replacement cadence helps you compare true cost per use across vendors.
