R.A.P.T.O.R.®*
SYSTEM
Composite/Porcelain Finishing Burs
GENERAL INFORMATION |
|
The R.A.P.T.O.R.
SYSTEM has enabled dentists to overcome the challenge
of sculpting and finishing many restorative materials.
The R.A.P.T.O.R. (Rapid Adapting Precision Transformer for Occlusal Resins) burs are the keystone of a highly-defined
but simplified approach to finishing Class I and Class
II posterior composite restorations as well as indirect
composite or porcelain restorations and denture teeth.
Modeled after the 21B acorn burnisher, R.A.P.T.O.R. burs cut precise planes without penetrating too deep
or too shallow.
The R.A.P.T.O.R. SYSTEM includes two R.A.P.T.O.R. burs; R1, a small R.A.P.T.O.R. for
bicuspids, and R2, a large R.A.P.T.O.R. for molars, one 18-Flute Carbide Needle, one
30-Flute Carbide Egg, one 30-Flute Carbide Christmas
Tree and one Diamond Needle. The system is provided in a
convenient autoclavable bur block.
The R.A.P.T.O.R. SYSTEM provides the dentist
complete control over the shape of the restoration and
can reduce finishing time by UP TO 50%.
LIL' R.A.P.T.O.R.s (sold separately) are burs
that are specifically designed for secondary and tertiary
anatomy, allowing the dentist to create the ideal depth
and width of these grooves in a single pass. Due to
their small size, LIL' R.A.P.T.O.R.s are also
recommended for use with restorations placed following
air abrasion preparation.
INDICATIONS FOR USE
The
principle uses of the R.A.P.T.O.R. SYSTEM are:
1. Direct composite restorations
2. Indirect composite/porcelain restorations
3. Denture teeth
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Direct composite restorations:
1. Remove the matrix band after the composite restoration
has been light-cured. Create the planes and primary anatomy
using the R1 or R2 R.A.P.T.O.R. at approximately
100,000-200,000 RPM with water. |
A) Mark planes.
B) Create pits.
C) Begin at the lowest point of the plane and work
up to the zenith.
D) Sculpt the outside edges up to the zenith. The R.A.P.T.O.R. is designed to be stable; it will
not "walk" as other burs have a tendency to do.
|
2. Use
the 30-Flute Carbide CHRISTMAS TREE bur to smooth
planes and connect the dots. Handpiece speed should be
100,000-200,000 RPM. The 30-Flute bur is smoother than
an ultra fine diamond bur. The angle of the CHRISTMAS
TREE offers maximum ease and comfort. This bur will
not easily cut enamel so original anatomy can be followed.
3. Use mylar abrasive discs to shape the occlusal interproximal
areas and remove flash.
4. Redefine the planar anatomy and create secondary grooves
with just the tip of the R.A.P.T.O.R. bur or use
the LIL' R.A.P.T.O.R.s to create secondary and
tertiary anatomy.
5. Finish the surface of freshly cut anatomy with the
30-Flute Carbide CHRISTMAS TREE bur.
6. Remove flash and excess material from the gingival
and interproximal areas. Use the diamond NEEDLE bur for gross reduction, then finish with the 18-Flute
Carbide NEEDLE bur. Rubber polishing points are
not necessary when using the 18-Flute NEEDLE bur.
7. Check the occlusion using articulating paper. Use the
30-Flute Carbide CHRISTMAS TREE or EGG bur
to redefine identified areas needing occlusal adjustment.
8. Create the final polish with finishing discs and/or
polishing paste using rubber cups and/or brushes.
Indirect composite/porcelain restorations and denture
teeth:
Follow steps 4-8 above.

PRECAUTION:
R.A.P.T.O.R. burs are not intended for gross reduction
of composite. Useful life of the burs can be extended
by creating restorations needing minimal reduction prior
to light-curing. The burs shall be examined prior to use and not used if worn.
