By Shofu Dental Staff n With an increasing emphasis on productivity, dental practices and laboratories are in a continuous search for smart solutions in storage and organization of rotary instru- ments. Specifically, large-volume labora- tories and practices with multiple operatories strive to streamline their procedures and reduce costs by mini- mizing the time and effort allocated to storing, coding, sterilizing and restocking myriad dental burs. With the advent of BurButler, a fully autoclavable storage system for rotary instruments of all shank sizes, including CA, FG, HP and short shanks, bringing time- and cost- savings to the management of dental burshasneverbeeneasiertoachieve, according to Shofu. The BurButler is composed of a polycarbonate lid and a universal bur block made of resilient, medical- grade silicone, which possesses natu- ral antimicrobial properties and the ability to withstand high tempera- tures without losing the integrity of form. The base comes in five assorted colors — amber orange, amethyst purple, diamond white, ruby pink and sapphire blue — for coding and identification. Unlike many other bur blocks,theBurButlerdoesnotrequire plugs or extra parts to securely house instruments. The silicone block fea- tures a patented starburst design with a reverse fluting that helps hold burs in place, eliminating the risk of spilled or misplacing burs. The holes also offer drainage for proper clean- ing and sterilization. Intended for customized mixing and matching of burs, the 5-, 10- and 25-hole bur blocks are designed to demonstrate ideal spacing between the holes. This property helps facili- tate easy insertion and removal of burs and is safe for all fingers — petite or large, gloved or bare. Shofu’s bur blocks are comple- mented by a protective lid, which is available in two sizes, regular and tall, and is made of thermostable plastic. Both the lid and base can be autoclaved together. Equipped with skirted grooves, the lid grips the base easily, and it can be removed with one hand. The clear lid makes it possible to view the content of a bur block, allowing for more efficient organization of rotary instruments. Furthermore, color-coordinated bur blocks can also be used as steri- lizable storage boxes for a variety of other components, including implant abutments, perio irrigation tips, provisionals, removables and other small items. Whether used for storage, sterili- zation or organization of CA, FG, HP and short-shank dental burs, Shofu asserts that its BurButler will help bring time- and cost-savings to dental practices and laboratories. exhibitors 6 Hinman Dental Meeting — March 18, 2016 A system for storage, sterilization, organization Ad 5 Shofu’s BurButler is a system for storage, sterilization and organization of dental burs that grips CA, FG, HP and short-shank burs all in one block.
