In oral surgery and wisdom tooth extractions, how to choose the best oral surgical bur is critical in cutting efficiency, precision, and overall chair-side time. Traditional carbide fissure burs, such as the 701, 702, and 703 series, have long been used for sectioning teeth and bone removal, but advancements in bur design have led to the development of 1701, 1702, and 1703 burs, which offer twice faster cutting efficiency, reduced chairside time.

This article explores why 1701/1702/1703 burs outperform traditional burs and how they enhance surgical efficiency.

Understanding the Difference: 1701/1702/1703 vs. 701/702/703 Burs

1. Cutting Efficiency: Blades That Extend to the Tip

One of the biggest limitations of traditional 701, 702, and 703 burs is their flat-end design, which lacks cutting edges at the tip. This means that only the sides of the bur engage with the tooth or bone, requiring more effort and time for sectioning.

In contrast, 1701, 1702, and 1703 burs are designed with cutting blades that extend all the way to the tip, significantly improving cutting efficiency by allowing the entire bur to engage with the material. This design enables faster tooth sectioning, which reduces chairside time and accelerates extractions. Additionally, it requires less pressure, minimizing hand fatigue and enhancing precision. The smoother cutting experience also generates less heat, reducing patient discomfort and improving overall procedural outcomes.

2. Ideal for Wisdom Tooth Extractions and Bone Removal

Surgical burs are widely used in wisdom tooth extractions, particularly for sectioning impacted teeth. The 1701, 1702, and 1703 burs are engineered for superior performance in these procedures, making them the preferred choice for oral surgeons.

Compared to older bur models, these burs allow for cleaner, faster cuts, improving both surgical workflow and patient recovery.

3. Perfect Compatibility with Leading Handpieces

For maximum efficiency, surgical burs should fit seamlessly with common oral surgery handpieces. 

This ensures optimal performance, reduced vibration, and precise control during procedures.

Why Upgrade to 1701/1702/1703 Surgical Burs?

Surgeons who switch to 1701, 1702, and 1703 burs experience improved cutting speed, reduced hand fatigue, and better surgical efficiency compared to using traditional burs.

1. Extended cutting edges = Faster procedures
2. Less chairside time = Higher patient comfort
3. Same price as traditional burs = Better value

By upgrading to 1701, 1702, and 1703 burs, oral surgeons can improve efficiency, precision, and patient satisfaction while maintaining cost-effectiveness.
