View the full StyleItaliano Finishing Bur Range.
“Even though this bur is designed and sold for periodontics, and despite its apparent aggressiveness, I have discovered that this is the most ideal instrument for finishing composites, because of the low speed and high torque of a conventional latch-type contrangle.” – Jordi Manauta – StyleItaliano honorary member
