Alpen #2 SS FG Short-Shank Round Carbide Bur – Pack of 10 (Coltene R300002)

[AcmeDent sku='BU6321']

The Alpen #2 SS FG Round Carbide Bur (short-shank, friction grip) by Coltene (ref. R300002) is a precision rotary instrument engineered for efficient operative and surgical cutting in restorative dentistry. This pack of 10 burs offers consistent performance when preparing enamel, dentin, amalgam, porcelain, and composite.

Key Features & Benefits

• Friction grip (FG) short-shank (“SS”): Designed for high-speed handpieces; the short FG shank allows better control in shallow or conservative cavity preparations.
• Round #2 (#2) head shape (approx. 1.0 mm diameter): Ideal for caries entry, initial outline grooves, opening access, and creating retention in preparation designs.
• One-piece carbide construction: Eliminates risks associated with brazed joints, avoids joint breakage or rusting, thereby enhancing durability under repeated sterilization cycles.
• Optimized flute geometry: Enables aggressive cutting with minimal chatter or vibration; resists clogging with efficient chip evacuation.
• Reliable package: Supplied in a sealed pack of 10 burs for clinical readiness and cost-efficiency.

Clinical Applications
Use this bur for:

• Primary caries removal and pulpal access
• Forming circular entry points and initial retention in Class I & II preparations
• Fine adjustments in groove placement or undermined enamel removal
• Enhancing internal line angles in conservative prep designs

User & Sterilization Notes
Use under copious air-water spray to maintain cooling. After use, the bur should be cleaned of debris and sterilized per standard protocols. Inspect for wear or dulled edges before reuse; carbide burs will lose efficiency if the cutting edges are compromised.
