Use burr equator

Cutting burrs are most effective if the equator is used. Adjust the handpiece so the equator of the burr is always visible against the bone. In this way the burr cuts most effectively and safely, with the least pressure. Avoid using the pole of the burr. Select a burr with sharp flutes and keep them clean through constant irrigation. Note that the direction of the sweep is different when bone is removed quickly from each of the walls of a deep slot.
