Frank Dental 856.010 Tapered Chamfer Round-End Diamond Bur – 1.0mm with 0.7mm Tip

Precision Crown Preparation with Frank Dental

The Frank Dental 856.010 Tapered Chamfer Round-End Diamond Bur is a precision-engineered dental diamond bur designed for clinicians who require accuracy, control and consistency during crown preparation procedures.

Featuring a 1.0mm tapered chamfer profile with a 0.7mm rounded tip diameter, this specialist diamond bur is designed to support controlled axial tooth reduction and the preparation of accurate chamfer finish lines.

Manufactured by Frank Dental, Germany, the 856.010 is an excellent addition to any restorative dentist’s instrument selection, offering a practical combination of tapered geometry, a rounded working end and carefully considered dimensions for modern fixed prosthodontics.

Whether preparing teeth for zirconia crowns, lithium disilicate restorations, all-ceramic crowns or porcelain-fused-to-metal restorations, choosing the correct diamond bur is essential for achieving predictable preparation geometry.

The Frank Dental 856.012 provides clinicians with a 1.0mm tapered working profile and a narrower 0.7mm tip, making it a useful instrument for developing controlled preparation margins while maintaining a conservative approach to tooth reduction.

The Advantages of a 1.0mm Tapered Chamfer Diamond Bur

Tapered chamfer diamond burs are among the most commonly used instruments in restorative and prosthodontic dentistry.

Their geometry allows clinicians to prepare axial walls while establishing a defined cervical finish line suitable for the intended indirect restoration.

The Frank Dental 856.010 incorporates a 1.0mm tapered profile, providing a practical working dimension for crown preparation.

The tapered design supports:

• Controlled axial wall reduction.

• Consistent preparation geometry.

• Development of a defined chamfer finish line.

• Smooth transitions between axial and cervical surfaces.

• Preparation refinement around the cervical margin.

• Controlled reduction for indirect restorative procedures.

The rounded working end is particularly important when creating a preparation with a smooth internal transition. When correctly positioned and used, the round-ended profile can help avoid unnecessarily sharp internal preparation angles.

This is an important consideration when preparing teeth for contemporary ceramic and zirconia restorations.

Why the 0.7mm Tip Diameter Matters

One of the distinguishing features of the Frank Dental 856.012 is its 0.7mm tip diameter.

The tip diameter influences the width of the instrument at its terminal working end and is an important consideration when selecting a crown preparation bur.

The combination of a 1.0mm tapered profile and 0.7mm tip provides a narrower terminal dimension, allowing clinicians to work with a defined preparation geometry.

This can be particularly useful when:

• Establishing a controlled chamfer margin.

• Working around the cervical preparation.

• Refining axial wall contours.

• Maintaining consistent preparation dimensions.

• Preparing teeth where careful management of remaining tooth structure is important.

Selecting an appropriate bur diameter helps clinicians achieve the preparation requirements of the chosen restorative material without unnecessarily increasing the dimensions of the preparation.

Designed for Modern Crown Preparation

The Frank Dental 856.012 is suitable for incorporation into crown preparation workflows where a tapered chamfer round-end diamond bur is required.

Zirconia Crown Preparation

Zirconia restorations are increasingly popular in restorative dentistry due to their strength, durability and versatility.

The Frank Dental 856.012 can be used as part of an appropriate zirconia crown preparation sequence, helping establish the required axial reduction and chamfer margin.

Its tapered profile and rounded end provide a useful geometry for clinicians preparing teeth for monolithic zirconia restorations.

Lithium Disilicate Crown Preparation

Lithium disilicate is widely used for aesthetic indirect restorations.

Preparation geometry is particularly important when working with glass-ceramic materials, as adequate material thickness and appropriate internal contours must be considered.

The 856.010 offers a tapered chamfer profile that can be incorporated into preparation protocols where this margin design is indicated.

All-Ceramic Crown Preparation

All-ceramic restorations require carefully planned tooth reduction to provide the necessary restorative space while maintaining appropriate preparation geometry.

The Frank Dental 856.010 offers a practical option for axial reduction and chamfer margin preparation as part of a complete ceramic crown preparation sequence.

Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal Crowns

Porcelain-fused-to-metal restorations continue to be used in fixed prosthodontics.

The tapered chamfer profile of the 856.010 makes it a useful instrument for clinicians working with suitable metal-ceramic preparation designs.

General Fixed Prosthodontics

Tapered chamfer diamond burs are valuable instruments throughout restorative dentistry.

The 856.010 can be used in selected preparation and refinement stages where its 1.0mm profile and 0.7mm tip dimensions are appropriate.

The Importance of a Consistent Chamfer Finish Line

The finish line is one of the most important features of a successful crown preparation.

A clearly defined, continuous margin helps the dental laboratory identify the preparation boundary and manufacture a restoration that follows the intended design.

A poorly defined finish line can make impression taking, digital scanning and communication with the dental laboratory more challenging.

The Frank Dental 856.010 is designed around a tapered chamfer geometry, helping clinicians establish a controlled margin when used with the appropriate technique.

Its rounded working end supports the creation of a smooth internal transition, helping avoid unnecessarily sharp internal preparation angles.

A well-planned chamfer margin should be appropriate for the restorative material, the clinical situation and the manufacturer’s preparation recommendations.

Clinical Considerations When Using the 856.010

Correct instrument selection and clinical technique are essential for achieving predictable crown preparations.

When using the Frank Dental 856.010, clinicians should consider the following:

Controlled pressure: Use appropriate light, controlled pressure and allow the diamond instrument to perform its intended cutting action.

Adequate water cooling: Use suitable irrigation during intraoral cutting to help minimise heat generation and protect the tooth structure.

Correct instrument positioning: Maintain the appropriate orientation to establish the intended taper and chamfer margin.

Restorative material requirements: Follow the preparation guidelines for the selected zirconia, lithium disilicate, ceramic or metal-ceramic restoration.

Instrument maintenance: Inspect diamond burs regularly and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning, sterilisation and replacement.

Always use the instrument in a compatible handpiece and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for use and operating parameters.
