Dr. Beckman,
Thank you for the link to the newsletter. I have a question after coming back from the institute and trying to get some new equipment. When using Arkansas White Stone burs is there a preferred size? I found 3 FG sizes and a couple are RA and I’m not sure what the RA is. We would probably be using them primarily to smooth a fractured tooth if it is a closed fracture etc.
I appreciate your time.

Hi Jennifer,
Glad to hear from you. We use the bullet flame for that application, but all personal preferrence. Below is a link to Dr. Wiggs book on Google books about burs for an idea on shapes. How did you like the NAVC Institite?
Anyone else care to add anything?
Thank you for your help. The NAVC Institute was great. I learned alot and now we are just trying to get the new equipment to apply it.
