Overview

This category encompasses dental burs, which are specialized cutting instruments designed for use in dentistry. These burs are typically made of hardened steel, carbide, or diamond particles, and are attached to a handpiece to remove tooth structure, prepare cavities, shape bone, or polish restorations. Their primary function is precise material removal within the oral cavity during various dental procedures.

While other instruments used in dental sciences are classified under subheading 9018.49, dental burs are specifically distinguished by their singular cutting or grinding function and their typical attachment to a dental handpiece. This differentiates them from broader categories of dental instruments that may involve manipulation, suction, or illumination.

As a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under HTS code 9018.49.40.00. Therefore, the classification criteria rely solely on the product being a dental bur. When classifying, consider the material composition and intended use for dental procedures as the primary determinants.
