Abstract

Cannon burs with only one cutting surface and round burs with multiple cutting surfaces were evaluated in preparing bone sites for root form implant placement in five Macaca fascicularis monkeys. The cannon burs did not appear to produce a bone surface more conducive to osseointegration than the round burs. Bone cutting bur designs utilized in implant dentistry should be extensively evaluated and compared. (Implant Dent 1994;3:47-50).
