Engineered to meet the highest standards: yours
Two Striper®, from Abrasive Technology, is the original brazed diamond dental bur. Invented over 40 years ago, our proprietary P.B.S.® brazing process is still recognized as the best bonding system in the industry. This innovative process uses a nickel chrome alloy to chemically adhere each individual crystal to a one-piece, hardened, stainless steel blank, creating a permanent bond between the diamond layer and the substrate and greatly extending the working life of the tool with no stripping or peeling.
Better diamonds
We start with better diamonds
The quality of dental diamond instruments starts with the quality of the diamond crystals themselves. And with Two Striper®, the difference is crystal clear. We use natural, virgin diamond crystals — which have more corners and angles than synthetics — for superior abrasion. The individual crystals are selected by exact size and shape to ensure high diamond exposure and a uniform cutting surface.

The meticulously selected diamond crystals engineered into each Two Striper® bur provide little variation in size, allowing for a faster, more consistent cut.
Better design
We engineer better design
Our superior engineering process enables us to optimally distribute and space our diamonds to create a uniform cutting surface that reduces heat, chatter and vibrational trauma, while inhibiting clogging by naturally allowing space for debris to exit the worksite. Our unique approach minimizes unwanted high and low spots, practically eliminating the peaks that prevent dentists from using the full surface of the bur.

Two Striper®’s design creates natural irrigation channels that allow for the flushing of water and cutting debris while also ensuring even more crystals touch the surface of the tooth
FIGURE 1b
The tightly packed crystals in competitors’ burs trap debris, clogging up the surface of the bur, and also further inhibit lower crystals from contacting the tooth’s surface
Smoother surface
We create a smoother surface
With the combination of our meticulous natural virgin diamond selection and superior engineering, Two Striper® burs provide an uncommonly smooth surface finish. Not only does this result in greater customer satisfaction, it can eliminate the need for dentists to use a second pass over a crown with a finer grit diamond to smooth out the surface—reducing both prep time and cost.

Better results
We deliver better results
Because dentists operate in confined spaces, feel is just as important as sight. And while it’s difficult to measure “feel,” vibration, skipping and bur chatter creates a rougher feeling cut than desired. Two Striper® burs just feel right, carefully crafted to create a more consistent surface for each bur that reduces unwanted vibration and allows for a smoother surface finish. The result is a better solution for dental professionals all the way around.
