The FG-245 Amalgam Prep - Cross Cut -100pk - Tungsten Carbide Burs #FG245 is a SHARK carbide bur, supplied on a FG — Friction-Grip shank, 100pk. SHARK is the value-tier line US Dental Depot stocks for practices that want a dependable everyday instrument without a premium-brand price per unit.
This is a friction-grip shank for a high-speed air turbine handpiece, used intraorally. Check the shank against your handpiece before ordering — FG, RA and HP are not interchangeable.
Round heads open access and excavate — they cut on the tip and the sides.
Cross-cut flutes break the chip and clear debris faster — chosen for bulk removal speed, not for a polished finish.
Carbide instruments cut — they shear material with defined blades. A carbide bur is not a polisher, and a dull one should be replaced rather than pushed harder.
