When using other, lower cost, burs with imperfections due to its inferior manufacturing materials and processes, you may experience lower cutting efficiency and vibrations that are transferred to the operator’s hand as well as the patient. As a result, the quality of dental work may suffer and the whole treatment process can become uncomfortable for a patient.

  • Optimize chair time with high-quality burs that enhance preparation results.
  • Enhance the patient experience by delivering a low-stress appointment and a precise, efficient treatment with minimal discomfort.
  • Reduce instrumentation costs by stocking burs that increase your practice’s productivity.

Ordering Guides and Bur Menu

Knowing how to read specifications is easier than you think! Most bur companies use the European shape numbering system that describes:

  • overall shape (that includes length);

  • shank;

  • diameter at the widest dimension of the bur.

The colours signify the coarseness (measured in micron size of the grains of diamonds) and/or the application.

Trained CRD representatives can visit your practice at a convenient time with a bur sample wallet – it is the easiest way to choose the best bur option for every procedure.

Gebr. Brasseler: Company foundation

It was with courage and foresight that the instrument manufacturer Peter Brasseler founded the dental bur factory "Gebr. Brasseler" in Düsseldorf on January 1st, 1923, thus laying the foundation for an extraordinary success story in a politically and economically difficult time. Under the brand name Komet, Peter Brasseler supplied his customers directly, without detours via dental depots.  Today, Komet Dental offers one of the most comprehensive ranges of rotary dental instruments and systems in the world, including traditional round burs to crown cutters, from composite removers to polishers, from preparation to endodontics. With very few exceptions, Komet Dental  manufactures each of its products at the company’s production site in Lemgo, the home of the family-run company employing more than 1,000 staff. This is where dental quality – made in Germany, yet appreciated all over the world – is created.
