MDT supply these burs "mechanically clean, but NOT sterile": clean and steam-sterilise them before first use and before each reuse – MDT’s instructions give 134°C with a 4-minute hold and 15 minutes’ drying. "Do not use worn-out or dull instruments."
› MDT make their tungsten carbide burs "from a single piece of TC or from a TC tip brazed onto a surgical grade stainless-steel stem", and say "raw materials are selected carefully to ensure the maximum cutting tip hardness and neck strength of each bur to prevent the risk of breakage during use".
› MDT: "MDT Crown Cutters are engineered for optimal efficiency in your hands during Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) crown cutting."
› Keep the bur moving and do not press hard – MDT warn that excessive pressure and a stationary bur both generate heat.
