Frank Dental Soft Tissue Gingiva Trimmer Burs - Ceramic Gingiva Bur - 2 pcs

Gingiva Trimmer Soft-Tissue Bur Set

• Purpose: cutting soft tissues
• Working technique is the same as with a scalpel
• Correct use can minimize bleeding during the procedure and may even lead to full coagulation
• The coagulation effect is obtained by heating the ceramic cutting piece
• Thanks to the special ceramic in the mounting section, heating is limited so blood vessels can close without causing thermal tissue necrosis

Application

• Gingival modification (modeling, cutting) — trimming gingiva around a prepared tooth to obtain impressions with clearly readable margins
• Tissue cut with this instrument regenerates very quickly
• Uncovering implants
• Uncovering unerupted teeth
• Frenulum procedures in children

Recommendation

The shape of the cutting piece is patient-friendly and is not associated with the pain of a sharp instrument — especially important in young patients.

Use

• The cutting surface should be as dry as possible; turn off the cooling spray. Even slight moisture can prevent the coagulation effect during cutting — before applying the instrument on the turbine, make sure no water remains at the tip
• Clear fluids that accumulate in the mouth and protect the working area before continuing. During cutting, work like a scalpel in one direction only (returning reopens already closed blood vessels and causes bleeding)
• Work on the side surface of the ceramic blade, not the tip. Cut at a 45° angle
• Cutting should be 3–4 times slower than with a diamond instrument
• Recommended speed: 300,000–500,000 rpm (higher speed increases effectiveness in stopping bleeding)
• User note: the instrument is for soft tissues only and must not contact hard surfaces (e.g. bone); contact with a hard surface causes black burning of the ceramic tip
• Blackening is not due to a loss of the instrument’s working performance
• During disinfection and sterilization, stand the ceramic bur tip separately so it does not contact other metal instruments, which can affect the ceramic piece
