Pit & Fissure Exploration
The Fissurotomy® Bur...
A conservative solution to suspect fissures.
Problem: Hidden Caries
Increased fluoride use has made it difficult to detect fissure caries using explorers and x-rays. A large percentage of suspect fissures have decay present.
Studies have shown that over 90% of pits and fissures with subsurface staining and white decalcification have decay present.
Solution: The Fissurotomy® Bur
The scientifically developed instrument for the conservative diagnosis and treatment of hidden caries.
- Tip of bur is smaller and more conservative than 1/4 round
- Fine carbide tip will not strip quickly like thin diamonds.
- Virtually pain free to the DEJ.... in most cases no anesthesia is needed
- Ideal cavity prep form
- Cleaner, faster, more controlled and less costly than air abrasion
- May perform multiple preps in the same amount of time it takes to do a single prep with anesthesia; results in more efficiency for your practice
Result: Conservative Prep
The Fissurotomy® Bur allows for exploration of ?ssures. It is virtually pain-free (to the DEJ) and creates an ideal cavity form. You can explore and restore in just 3-5 minutes.
Fissurotomy® Burs have a 100% rating from an independent non-profit dental products testing laboratory.
