Flame Diamond Burs
What Are Flame Diamond Burs Best Used For?
Flame diamond burs are used to shape occlusal grooves, fissures, and undercuts, and to refine crown and veneer preparations where a tapered, pointed head follows tooth anatomy more closely than a round or cylindrical bur. Dental technicians also use them in the lab to open and refine narrow channels and margins on restorations before they leave the lab. The pointed tip lets you work into fine grooves and line angles that a wider bur cannot reach cleanly, and the diamond coating gives finer control for finishing than a comparable carbide flame bur.
What Types of Flame Diamond Burs Does MEISINGER Offer?
Multi-Use FG, HP, and RA Flame Burs
MEISINGER's standard 861 series flame diamond burs are available in FG, HP, and RA shanks across sizes from 0.9mm to 1.6mm and grits from coarse to extra fine, such as the 861-012-FG and 861-016-HP, giving practices and labs a full range of grit and shank options on one bur profile.
Black Cobra Super Coarse Flame Burs
The B862-012-FG and B863-014-FG Black Cobra flame burs use a super coarse diamond grit for faster material removal on dense restorative surfaces, where a standard coarse grit would take longer to cut through.
Long and Sintered Flame Burs
The 863-012-FG long flame diamond bur and the 861S-016-HP sintered flame bur extend working length and durability for deeper grooves and repeated use on harder materials.
Single-Use, Sterile Flame Burs
For practices that want a pre-sterilized bur for each patient, the 1510.8F single-use flame diamond bur is individually packaged and ready to use straight from the pack, removing a sterilization cycle between patients.
Selecting the Best Flame Diamond Bur for Your Practice or Lab
Start with the anatomy you're working on. Standard flame burs suit occlusal grooves and fissures, while the Black Cobra super coarse line is built for faster removal on dense or difficult surfaces. Match the shank to your handpiece: FG for high speed handpieces, and HP or RA for low speed lab and surgical motors. If you need to reach deeper into a groove or fissure, the long working length and sintered options extend reach and durability beyond the standard flame profile.
If your practice sterilizes and reuses burs between patients, the multi-use 861 series covers the full range of grits and shanks. If you prefer a fresh, sterile bur for every patient, the single-use option removes that step from your workflow. Whichever configuration you choose, every MEISINGER flame diamond bur is manufactured in Germany to the same tolerances across the line, so grit and cutting performance stay consistent pack to pack.

What's the difference between a multi-use and single-use flame diamond bur?
A multi-use flame diamond bur is designed to be cleaned and sterilized between patients, while a single-use flame diamond bur comes individually packaged and sterile, meant for one patient before disposal.
What sizes do MEISINGER's flame diamond burs come in?
MEISINGER's flame diamond burs range from 0.7mm to 3.1mm in diameter, and come in FG, HP, and RA shanks, so practices and labs can match the bur to the handpiece and procedure.
