After using the diamond burs, their bodies will carry some attachments and dirt.

For better care of the burs, dentists need to clean them regularly.

But someone may be concerned about whether it will influence the degree of wear of the bur and not clear about how to start operating.

Therefore, in this post, I have summarized three steps to help you learn how to clean the diamond burs clearly and operate rightly to protect your burs when cleaning.

I want to share with you two different methods:

1. manual cleaning

2. ultrasonic cleaning

So let us start with the first one:

Manually

You can follow three steps:

First: Preparation of all the tools

When processing cleaning, you need to prepare an ultrasonic device, cleaning solution, handpiece, sharpening stone, diamond burs, water, sink.

Second: Sharpening the stone

Insert the diamond bur you need to clean into a handpiece and operate at the maximum RPM.

Put the diamond bur head fully into a wet sharpening cleaning stone for at least 2 seconds.

Then remove the bur away from the handpiece.

Third: Rinsing, Soaking, and Brushing

2. comply with the correct concentration, exposure time, temperature, and water quality under the guideline of the ultrasonic device, soak into the cleaning solution and sonicate for at least 15 minutes,

3. The process is the same as the last step of manual cleaning.
