Iranian Firm Uses Nano-Coating to Make Dental Burs

In addition to producing these instruments, the company also offers hard nanostructure coating services and plasma surface hardening processes. The current daily production capacity of the company is 3,000 burs, which can be increased to 10,000 per day.

Almas Tech Aria Alborz has so far succeeded in obtaining three important knowledge-based licenses, which include the production of nickel/diamond composite abrasive tools, the manufacture of PACVD devices and the creation of various nano-structured coatings by using the PACVD method. These successes demonstrate the company's technical ability and innovation in designing and manufacturing advanced products and equipment based on indigenous knowhow.

Based on figures, the annual consumption of dental burs in Iran is about 4 million pieces. The company's current production capacity is 3,000 burs per day, which can be increased to 6,000 to 10,000 pieces per day in the short to long term by developing production lines. The main competitive advantage of the company's products is the lower price compared to foreign models along with the desired quality, which has caused the domestic market to show a positive attitude towards its products.

Burs are rotary instruments that are designed for cutting hard tissues such as tooth enamel or bone. Burs come in a range of shapes, sizes and grits with two or more sharp-edge blades and multiple cutting edges. Dental burs are an essential part of everyday general dentistry, used in various procedures including cavity preparation, crown work and orthodontics.

Rapidly robust and of high quality, dental burs are made of steel, stainless steel, tungsten carbide, ceramic, zirconia and diamond grit.
