• Tip of bur is smaller and more conservative than 1/4 round
• Fine carbide tip will not strip quickly like thin diamonds
• Virtually pain free to the DEJ... in most cases no anesthesia is needed
• Ideal cavity preparation form for a flowable composite
• Cleaner, more controlled and less costly than air abrasion
• Multiple bur tip sizes to suit adult and deciduous teeth

Fissurotomy Instruments are essential when removing decay in deep lesions because they preserve the healthy dentin. This reduces post-operative sensitivity and avoids unnecessary root canal procedures.” 

Fissurotomy instruments allow early diagnosis, conservative preparation and treatment of hidden fissure caries, often without the use of anesthesia.  Developed in collaboration with Temple University, the Fissurotomy bur head shape allows conservative exploration of fissures with a patient-friendly technique that is virtually pain-free and creates an ideal cavity form. You can explore and restore in just 3-5 minutes.

The occlusal fissure of this molar looks suspicious for a carious lesion because of subsurface staining and decalcification; but the explorer does not ‘stick’, indicating a lesion, and there is no x-ray evidence of such. However, radiographs do not detect all occlusal lesions. Enamel thickness can be deceptive.

 A cross section of the same tooth would confirm your suspicion. It clearly shows the lesion deep in the enamel. 

 Solution: Fissurtomy is ideally designed for the ultraconservative pit/fissure exploration of adult molars, primary teeth & adult premolars, enameloplasty and improved sealant retention.
