OSSEODENSIFICATION BUR WITH TIP RELIEF AND METHOD OF USE

Abstract: a rotary tool configured for high-speed condensing and/or cutting action to enlarge a hole. the tool has a body around which is formed a plurality of flutes. each flute has a cutting face on one side and a densifying face on the other side. a land between adjacent flutes establishes a substantially margin-less working edge along each cutting face. the working edges are configured to produce osseodensification when the tool is operated in the condensing mode. a transverse valley is formed at the apical end of the body. the valley is a relief in the tip that creates several secondary cut/grind edges that are useful to produce and evenly distribute bone debris. when withdrawing the rotary osteotome from an enlarged hole, a small button of bone debris remains at the bottom of the hole. the button remnant facilitates new bone ingrowth and osseointegration of a subsequently installed anchor.
