Abstract
This brief history of the dental diamond bur is intended to provide bo th a historical perspective and an evaluation of the current state of bur technology. An understanding of the origins of dental diamonds and the issues facing manufacturers transforms the dentist from a simple user into an informed consumer. The author contends that this can impr ove dental care and enable the dentist to collaborate with manufacture rs in developing improved dental burs.
