Shofu Pro-Cut Diamonds are multi-use FG friction-grip diamond burs. Electro-deposition and a multi-coating process hold the diamond particles in place, for a concentric, balanced bur with smooth cutting and a long working life. The line runs to more than 300 burs in five colour-coded grits — Extra Fine, Fine, Medium, Coarse and Very Coarse. Sold in packs of 5.
Depth Marker: 2 burs in 2 sizes. A size reads ISO shape number · head diameter × head length. Choose the size, then the grit (Medium only).

About non-sterile diamonds
Non-sterile marks how the instrument is supplied, not what it cuts: a glossary defines sterile as free from living microorganisms. A non-sterile diamond is processed by the practice before use, and published guidance notes that deterioration can occur on the cutting surfaces of carbide and diamond burs during processing and after repeated processing cycles. The same guidance says to consider items difficult to clean, carbide and diamond burs among them, as single-use disposables and discard them after one use.
A dental diamond instrument is an abrasive device meant to smooth tooth surfaces during the fitting of crowns or bridges. It is built as a shaft that goes into the handpiece and a head with diamond chips embedded in it. Rotation is what gives the abrasive action when the head contacts a tooth. The FDA lists the dental diamond instrument as a Class I device (21 CFR 872.4535).
The diamond is held on by plating: diamond powder is deposited into a nickel matrix, so the cutting particles sit embedded in metal. Wear is the loss of those particles from the matrix, and a study measured cutting efficiency falling with every use, whatever the instrument and whatever the material being cut. The same study reports that cutting efficiency rises with larger diamond particle size. ISO 7711-1 is the standard for diamond rotary instruments, and covers designation, colour code and grit sizes.
How the types of diamond instrument differ
- Diamond burs — The general range, sold by shape and grit; the finer grades and the laboratory shapes are separated out on this shelf.
- Fine diamonds — The fine end of the grit range, where the coarse grades are described as indicated for more aggressive cutting of tooth structure.
- Non-sterile — Supplied unsterilized, so it is processed before first use, where a single-use diamond arrives ready and is discarded after one patient.
- Laboratory diamond burs — Runs on the bench, on the device; the rest of the shelf runs in the mouth.
- Diamond discs — A disc, which is the one form ISO 7711-1 leaves out of the general diamond standard.
What to look at when choosing a diamond bur
Grit: ISO 7711-1 covers designation, colour code and grit sizes for all shapes of diamond rotary instrument except discs. A study describes coarseness as known for high cutting efficiency and used where tooth structure is cut more aggressively.
Shape: ISO 6360-2 codes the shapes of all dental rotary instruments, and ISO 6360-4 codes the characteristics specific to diamond instruments and diamond-coated discs. A glossary defines the head shape as the outline form of the cutting surface edges, described from the shank to the tip end.
Shank: the shaft section that fits the handpiece may be friction gripping or latch-type in form, and ISO 1797 sets its dimensions and material properties. That standard does not cover tips fixed to the handpiece with a screw.
Discs: diamond discs sit under their own standard, ISO 7711-2, which covers discs used in the dental laboratory for cutting materials such as metals, ceramics, plastics or gypsum and selects five shapes with their dimensions.
How long one lasts: a study notes that no specific literature sets a maximum limit for changing diamond burs during or after a procedure. Published guidance says to consider items difficult to clean, carbide and diamond burs among them, as single-use disposables and discard them after one use.
Sterilizing: where diamonds are reprocessed, dry heat is used for materials that might be damaged by moist heat, and a review names unsaturated chemical vapour as effective for steel instruments such as dental burs.
What it leaves behind: a review notes that grinding with diamond burs can significantly increase the surface roughness of a restoration, which is then reduced by polishing.
Testing: ISO 8325 gives the general test methods for rotary instruments, covering dimensional characteristics, neck strength and surface roughness.
