FUNCTIONAL CUSP BEVEL DENTAL BUR

Abstract

Abstract: This invention relates to a specialized dental bur designed tQ create a functional cusp bevel during tooth preparation. The bur's innovative structure includes a central cutting area, responsible for precise removal of tooth structure, and a non-cutting peripheral zone that serves as a protective buffer. The central cutting area is meticulously engineered to ensure controlled, accurate reduction of the tooth, forming a functional cusp bevel critical for the success of restorative and prosthodontic procedures. The non-cutting area prevents damage to adjacent tooth structures, soft tissues, and the surrounding oral environment, reducing the risk of over-reduction and increasing preparation precision. Unlike traditional burs, which can result in uneven cusp formation or excess1ve E removal of tooth material, this bur ensures uniform, consistent bevel formation in a single, efficient step. Its design allows for ease of use, making it ideal for creating functional cusp bevels with minimal adjustment from the clinician. The ability to achieve a smooth, functional bevel without repeated adjustments significantly reduces chairside time and enhances procedural efficiency. Additionally, the bur minimizes unnecessary trauma to the tooth, thus preserving tooth integrity and improving long-term outcomes for patients. This tool is particularly usefulin prosthodontic and restorative dental procedures where a functional ·cusp bevel is essential for achieving optimal occlusal stability, aesthetic harmony, and longevity of the prosthetic restoration. This invention addresses a key challenge in modern dentistry by providing a bur that combines efficiency, precision, and safety. It allows dental professionals to streamline tooth preparation processes while ensuring high-quality results, making it a valuable addition to contemporary dental toolkits.

Specification

Title of Invention:
Functional Cusp Bevel Dental Bur
Field of Invention:
Dentistry Introduction:
Tooth preparation is a critical step in prosthodontic and restorative dental procedures;
where precision and accuracy significantly influence the outcome of the final
restoration. A functional cusp bevel is essential for providing proper occlusal contact,
reducing stress on the restoration, and ensuring long-term stability. However,
achieving a well-defined, uniform cusp bevel using traditional burs can be challenging
due to over-reduction, uneven bevel formation, and damage to adjacent structures.
The present invention introduces a novel dental bur specifically designed to create a
precise functional cusp bevel during tooth preparation. Unlike conventional burs,
which often require repeated adjustments to achieve the desired bevel, this bur features
a unique combination of a central cutting area and a non-cutting peripheral zone. The
central cutting area enables controlled, accurate reduction of tooth structure to form the
bevel, while the non-cutting area serves as a protective buffer, safeguarding adjacent
teeth and soft tissues from damage.
This specialized bur streamlines the cusp beveling process, ensuring uniform, efficient,
and accurate preparation in a single step. It is particularly beneficial in prosthodontic
applications, where occlusal stability and functional accuracy are paramount. By
addressing the limitations of traditional burs, this invention enhances both clinical
outcomes and procedural efficiency.
Summary of the Invention:
The present invention pertains to the field of dental instruments, specifically focusing
on burs used in prosthodontic and restorative dentistry. More particularly, this
invention relates to a specialized dental bur designed to aid in the precise formation of
a functional cusp bevel during tooth preparation for crowns, inlays, onlays, and other
restorative procedures. The design is intended to address the limitations of
conventional burs, which often result in uneven bevels, over-reduction, or inadequate
protection of adjacent tooth structures.
This invention is significant in the context of tooth preparation techniques that require
precision to ensure proper occlusal function and stability of restorations. By
incorporating both a central cutting area and a non-cutting peripheral zone, this bur
allows dental professionals to achieve controlled reduction of tooth structure while
minimizing the risk of damaging nearby tissues. The bur can be particularly beneficial
in prosthetic dentistry, where accurate cusp beveling is essential for creating
restorations that are functionally and aesthetically sound.
This specialized tool streamlines the tooth preparation process, enhancing both the
quality of the final restoration and the efficiency of the clinical procedure, making it a
~ valuable advancement in dental instrument technology.
