Bur blocks are dental products used to organize and store burs, which are small rotary instruments used in various dental procedures to shape, polish, or remove tooth structure.
Bur blocks are typically made of plastic or metal and feature multiple small holes or slots designed to hold burs of various shapes and sizes. The blocks may also feature a cover or lid to protect the burs from damage or contamination during storage or transportation.
Bur blocks come in different sizes and shapes, and some models may be color-coded for easy identification of the different burs. They can be autoclaved for sterilization and may be used multiple times.
Using bur blocks can help keep burs organized and easily accessible, reducing the risk of misplaced or lost burs and saving time during procedures. They are a simple but essential tool for dental professionals who work with burs regularly.
