Sc. Siegel et Ja. Vonfraunhofer, ASSESSING THE CUTTING EFFICIENCY OF DENTAL DIAMOND BURS, The Journal of the American Dental Association, 127(6), 1996, pp. 763-772
This study measured the cutting efficiencies of 15 types of round-end
tapered conventional and disposable diamond burs. The results showed t
hat disposable diamond burs had cutting efficiencies that were compara
ble to those of conventional (multiuse) diamond burs; their use should
reduce the risk of clinical cross-infection.
