The Vitality™ 1701 Oral Surgery Carbide Fissure Bur with HPL 65 mm shank #3 is engineered to deliver exceptional reach, speed, and precision during surgical tooth extractions and bone shaping. Unlike flat-head burs such as the #701, the 1701 features extended cutting blades that reach the tip, significantly improving cutting efficiency and material removal in oral surgery.

Precision-machined in Germany from solid tungsten carbide, the 1701 combines strength and sharpness with a cross-cut blade design to ensure smoother performance and faster chip evacuation. The 65 mm long shank is ideal for use with the W&H S-12 surgical handpiece, especially when access to deep or posterior sites is required.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 1701 oral surgery bur used for?

The 1701 oral surgery bur is used to make small, precise, and refined cuts in jaw bone, most commonly for bone graft harvesting and delicate oral surgery procedures. It is designed for situations where maximum control and accuracy are required.

 

What is the difference between 1701 and 701 burs?

Both burs are used for the same clinical indications, but 1701 cuts faster and more efficiently because it has cutting blades that extend all the way to the round tip, while the 701 has a flat tip with no cutting blades. The 1701 is considered the next-generation version of the 701 bur.

 

Is the 1701 bur made from one piece tungsten carbide?

Yes. Vitality 1701 burs are manufactured from one-piece tungsten carbide, which prevents bur snapping during surgery. Many low-cost burs on the market are made of two welded pieces, which increases the risk of instrument fracture under pressure.

 

Are 1701 oral surgery burs sterile?

No. 1701 oral surgery burs are supplied non-sterile and must be autoclave sterilized before use. Each bur must be placed in a separate sterilization pouch before autoclaving.
