Unveiling Influential Factors and Quality Features
Manufacturers of diamond burs vary in terms of the quality they offer, and this discrepancy is quite apparent. However, DIATECH burs are exceptional dental instruments that truly excel when it comes to performance. What sets them apart is their remarkable multi-layer coating infused with diamond grit, which greatly enhances the durability of these instruments. We fully comprehend the distinction between superior and inferior diamond instruments, and this understanding is reflected in our steadfast dedication to seven crucial features that have a significant impact on the grinding performance and durability of diamond instruments:

Ensure Precision: ISO and MDR Compliant Diamond Burs for Superior Dental Preparation
Diamond burs are available in various grits, which must adhere to ISO Norm 7711-3. However, some burs fail to meet the international standards. In the images provided below, you can observe burs with blue grit, while the blue circle indicates the required size of diamond particles for the blue instruments. It is evident from the image that not all manufacturers conform to the ISO standardized grit and use coarser grit for blue instruments. Scientifically, it has been established that coarser-grit diamond burs generate more heat, potentially causing overheating of the tooth and enamel damage. (2,3) Additionally, a coarser grit results in a rougher surface, requiring more time for polishing. (4)

Grit embedding
The Importance of Proper Grit Embedding for Enhanced Diamond Dental Bur Performance
The process of embedding grit ensures a secure attachment of diamond particles to the bur, enabling effective grinding. It is important to highlight that the quality of the grit embedding process can significantly influence the performance and lifespan of the diamond dental bur. When the diamond grit is properly embedded, it ensures the highest level of cutting efficiency and durability. Excessively deep embedding of the diamond particles diminishes the grinding capability of the instruments. Conversely, inadequate embedding may lead to premature wear or loss of diamond particles more rapidly during rotation.

Grit density
Maximizing Grinding Effectiveness: The Significance of Grit Density in Diamond Burs
The density of grit is commonly expressed by indicating the quantity of diamond particles present per square millimeter or the proportion of diamond coverage on the surface of the bur. Grit density holds significant importance as it profoundly impacts the grinding effectiveness of diamond burs. When the number of particles increases, the grinding performance also significantly improves. Also, it is very important to have enough diamond particles at the tip of the instrument, otherwise the instrument will leave black marks and overheat the tooth.
Diatech inspects each bur for uniform coating along the entire length of the instrument to ensure that you get only the best results during your preparations.

Ensure the protection and longevity of handpiece with DIATECH burs
DIATECH diamonds are meticulously ground blanks that surpass the ISO standards for concentricity, shank diameter, length, hardness and working part geometry ensuring seamless and vibration-free operation. With precise control over the shank circumference, these instruments guarantee exceptional balance and concentricity even at high rotational speeds.
The diameter of the shank plays a crucial role in determining the quality of a bur. If the diameter exceeds 1.6 mm, the bur will not be compatible with your handpiece. Conversely, if the diameter is below 1.59 mm, the bur will cause vibrations, potentially damaging the rotor group of the handpiece, and in the most severe scenario, will not rotate at all.
Protect your valuable handpieces and avoid costly repairs by selecting the exact instruments that meet your needs.

Ensure aesthetic Crowns Preparation: The Importance of Consistent Taper Angles in Instrument Design
In order to create aesthetically pleasing dental crowns, it is essential to prepare the tooth with precise taper angles that ensure optimal crown retention, stability, and material thickness. (5,6,7) This is why it is crucial for the instruments used to have consistent angles. If the finishing red burs do not match the angle of the preparation blue burs, they can potentially ruin the carefully established preparation taper angle. To meet this requirement, our burs are designed with uniform angles, regardless of the grit size they possess.

Quality control
Quality Control Matters!
The quality control holds immense significance when it comes to the durability of dental instruments and their ability to accurately prepare teeth. Substandard bur materials inevitably result in instrument breakage. Moreover, a diamond coating of poor quality implies that the bur will not grind effectively for an extended period, necessitating the use of multiple instruments for preparation. Inadequate coating on pointed instruments can also result in black lines and overheating on the enamel, particularly in sensitive areas like the cervical region. Furthermore, the presence of diamond particle recesses alters the instrument’s concentricity and augments vibrations.
Are the manufacturers of these instruments conducting thorough inspections on all their products?
