Operative & Surgical Length Benefits

  • One-piece construction eliminates brazed joint breakage and rusting
  • Even after 5 cuts Alpen Carbides out performs most competitors' first cuts.*
  • Highly concentric bur with the lowest average T.I.R.*
  • Alpen Carbides cut up to 4x faster than the competition*.


Why is Concentricity Important? 

A highly concentric bur results in a faster, smoother and more precise cut. Concentricity relates to the rotational alignment of the bur. The trueness helps ensure that there is consistent contact between the cutting edge and cutting surface.

Total Indicated Run-Out (T.I.R.) measures the concentricity of a bur. A lower T.I.R. measurement indicates higher concentricity.
