This amazing new bur will fly through both porcelain and metal on any PFM with no problem.

The new Razor carbide bur from Axis Dental is a huge time saver! This amazing bur will fly through porcelain and metal on any PFM with no problem. I used to use an old diamond to cut through the porcelain and then would switch to a 57 or 557 bur to cut through the coping. In addition to having these burs snap far too often, the chatter they would make as they cut through the metal was horrible!

In contrast, a new Razor will fly through the porcelain and continue straight through the metal with no chatter at all. On certain cases (usually those with semi-precious or high-noble substructures), I have used the same Razor bur to remove four or five entire crowns. Just order a couple of them in the 57 size and shape and you will see what I mean, especially if you have an electric handpiece like I do.
