Looking for a fresh set of carbide burs? “OEM” may seem like an unfamiliar term, but it’s actually quite straightforward. OEM stands for “original equipment manufacturer,” meaning the burs are crafted by the same organization that produced the dental handpiece or dental lab device that they will be used in.

Using Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) burs can bring several advantages – top-notch quality assurance, seamless fit, and maintaining the warranty of your device. Certified by the very manufacturer of your equipment, these burs have gone through rigorous testing to ensure their quality standards are met. Furthermore, these burs can guarantee a precise fit for your device, so you don’t have to worry about compatibility issues. Finally, not only can you trust their quality and compatibility, but also the fact that using these burs won’t risk invalidating warranties.

In contrast to generic or “aftermarket” burs, OEM burs can be pricier. Moreover, they may not offer the same range of sizes and shapes as other types of burs. Furthermore, they require a trip to the manufacturer to be purchased which could take longer than alternative options available at a dental supply company.

The choice of whether to opt for OEM or generic carbide burs is yours alone to make. Should you prioritize quality and equanimity, then OEM burs may be best for you. If economics or having a larger selection of sizes and shapes is important to you, then the generic variety may be the more practical solution.
