About bur cleaning brushes
Cleaning comes before sterilising: the CDC states that debris left on an instrument interferes with microbial inactivation and can compromise disinfection or sterilisation.
OSHA defines polishing and buffing wheels as wheels made wholly or partly of textile fabric, wood, felt, leather or paper, which may carry abrasive on the rim. Brush wheels are made from wire or bristles and are used for cleaning and brushing.
One published sequence for denture acrylic polishes first with pumice on a wet felt cone and then with rouge on a soft cloth wheel.
How the types on this shelf differ
- Buffing Wheels — Carries the polishing agent to the work.
- Bur Cleaning Brushes — For removing debris from the bur itself.
- Grinding Wheels — The coarse step: it shapes the work and removes excess material.
- Flexible Silicone Polishers — The abrasive is embedded in a flexible silicone body.
- Polishing Discs — The finer steps of the same series.
- Abrasive Discs — Grinds and smooths with its face.
- Polishing Wheels — A wheel for the smoothing steps that follow grinding.
- Separating & Cut-Off Discs — A thin wheel for cutting, where an abrasive disc works on its side.
- Heatless Wheels — Radial bristle discs and wheels and knife-edge discs, filed under the heatless wheels name.
What to look at when choosing
Material: fabric, felt, leather, wire or bristle, the materials OSHA names for buffing and brush wheels.
Reuse: the CDC states that burs, polishing points and rag wheels used on contaminated appliances or prostheses should be heat-sterilised, disinfected between patients, or discarded.
Dust: the CDC names grinding and polishing castings and porcelain among the laboratory steps that put dust in the air.
