The safe end cone – no diamond on the tip

MDT’s E165: a pointed-cone diamond with an uncoated tip – MDT list it with their safe end burs – 1.4 mm across with a 9 mm head, on a 21 mm FG shank. Coarse grit, green ring. The 25 mm version is in the Endo Access Kit; this 21 mm one is sold on its own.

This pack: MDT E165 Endo Access Diamond Bur, pointed cone with uncoated tip, FG, size 014, coarse (green ring), 21 mm (Pack of 5, non-sterile)

Supplied clean, not sterile

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."

What MDT say about it

›  MDT’s catalogue sets their diamonds at 60% diamond exposure against 40% for others – "More Diamond Per Diamond®" – listing "stronger bonding" and "uniform diamond coating, including the tips" among the features, and "faster & cooler cutting/grinding" and "slower clogging" among the benefits.

›  MDT say their “Triton” coating process "more than doubles the strength of the diamond bonding to the tool", on "Swiss-made heat treated and ground Stainless Steel shanks".

›  Speed, from MDT’s instructions for a 1.4 mm head: 70,000–220,000 rpm recommended, never more than 450,000 rpm.

›  Keep the bur moving and do not press hard – MDT warn that excessive pressure and a stationary bur both generate heat.

Coated tip or uncoated tip?

Both are long pointed cones in coarse diamond. MDT describe the E164, the ball-ended taper, as having a "rounded coated tip" – diamond right to the end – and the E165 as having an "uncoated tip", with no diamond on the tip itself. The E164 comes in three widths (011, 015, 018); the E165 in 014, at 21 or 25 mm.

Is there a sterile version?

Yes – the same bur in MDT’s MONOSTERYL® packing: MONOSTERYL® E165 safe end 014C, ten burs each individually wrapped and gamma-sterilised, ready to use and single use.
