All Dental Diamond Burs
MEISINGER’s dental diamond burs are ideal for the precise cutting and finishing of all types of procedures. The carefully selected diamond grains are bonded to the stainless steel body using the most modern galvanizing processes for a durable and reliable cutting surface. This process also guarantees a homogeneous and lasting diamond coating of the instruments for optimal procedural results.
- Available in a wide variety of diamond grits (ultra-fine to ultra-coarse)
- Durable diamond bonding process provides longer lasting diamond burs
- Homogeneous diamond distribution ensures smooth and consistent cutting
- Concentric construction
- Available in friction grip (highspeed), right angle (latch), and handpiece (straight) shanks

What are Dental Diamond Burs?
Diamond burs are essential rotary instruments used in dentistry for precise cutting and shaping of hard tissues, such as enamel and dentin. Coated with diamond particles, these burs offer exceptional cutting efficiency and are commonly used in orthodontics, endodontics, and restorative procedures. Due to their abrasive nature, diamond burs leave a rough surface, making them ideal for procedures that require precise contouring and detailed preparation.
What are the Different Types of Diamond Dental Burs and Their Uses?
MEISINGER's dental diamond burs come in a variety of shapes and grits, each suited for specific dental procedures. Our dental diamond burs are coated with diamond grains, and the size of these grains varies depending on the grit. We offer seven distinct grit types, each identified by a specific color code and letter designation for easy recognition. The grain sizes are measured in microns (µm)*, providing a clear indication of the level of abrasiveness—from ultra-fine to super-coarse.
*Micron = 0.001mm
| Super-Coarse, Pre-Grinding | Black Ring | Super-Coarse | S | 544 | 151–213 µm |
| Coarse, Pre-Grinding | Green Ring | Coarse | H | 534 | 107–181 µm |
| Universal Grinding | Blue Ring | Medium | - | 524 | 64–126 µm |
| Smoothing | Red Ring | Red | F | 514 | 27–76 µm |
| Pre-Finishing | Yellow Ring | Extra-Fine | C | 504 | 10–36 µm |
| Final Finishing | White Ring | Ultra-Fine | U | 494 | 4–14 µm |

Commonly Asked Diamond Burs Questions
What are Diamond Burs Used for in Dentistry?
Diamond burs are widely used in multiple dental specialties, including:
- Crown and Bridge Preparations – Achieving precise margins for prosthetics. Diamond burs are designed to efficiently and safely prepare teeth for various margin types, including chamfer, shoulder, modified shoulder, and feather margins. The range of grits—from super-coarse to extra-fine—allows practitioners to quickly reduce tooth structure with a coarser diamond, then smooth and refine the surface using a finer grit.
- Veneer Preparations – Ensuring smooth and accurate tooth reduction. Diamonds with depth controls diamonds allow for precise reduction on the facial surface for predictable and accurate reductions.
- Endodontic Access – Creating clean and controlled entry points for maximum visibility and endodontic straight line access into the canal orifice.
- Orthodontic Adjustments – Refining tooth structure and removing adhesive.
- Restorative Procedures – Shaping and contouring composite materials. Extra-fine and ultra-fine grits are available for an extremely smooth surface.
What is the Difference Between Diamond Burs and Carbide Burs?
- Diamond Burs – Utilize diamond-coated surfaces for abrasive grinding, ideal for cutting hard materials with precision. They leave a rough surface, making them perfect for detailed contouring.
- Carbide Burs – Made of tungsten carbide, these burs cut by chipping away material, offering a smoother finish. They are better suited for removing metal restorations and softer materials.
