Tissue-protective, end-cutting diamonds for the subgingival shoulder preparation
A significant feature of these diamonds is the uncoated bevelling to the cutting surface, designed to avoid lacerating the adjacent tissue or undercutting the axial wall during a shoulder preparation. TPE Diamonds (Tissue-Protective, End-Cutting) are available in normal head length with fine and coarse grit and in short head length with coarse grit.
Benefits
