Purpose: The aim of the present in vitro study was to microscopically evaluate and describe the deformation of Lindeman surgical burs and the bone surface roughness after repeated osteotomies and sterilization cycles.
Materials And Methods: Twenty-one Lindeman surgical burs were analyzed under scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to evaluate the damage of the bur's integrity after 0, 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9 osteotomies on bovine ribs. Eighteen bone specimens were obtained after osteotomy for roughness analysis using profilometry. One-way analysis of variance was used to compare the mean roughness values across the experimental groups, and P ≤ .05 was considered to indicate statistical significance.
Results: Representative SEM images illustrated that all analyzed burs presented with some type of deformation at both the tip and the body, even after their first use. The mean roughness values were independent of the number of uses (P > .05); however, the standard deviation increased with the number of uses of the burs.
Conclusions: These results suggest that even after their first use, rotatory surgical burs will have some type of deformation and that their cutting efficiency on the bone will vary and will be difficult to predict.

Background: A broken bur retained in the lower jaw is an uncommon complication that occurs during the extraction of the impacted mandibular third molar. The purpose of this retrospective study was to investigate the clinical characteristics of the broken burs and review our experience with the removal of the broken burs in these cases.
Methods: All patients, who suffered the broken bur remained in the lower jaw due to the extraction of the impacted mandibular third molar and presented to our hospital from July 2019 to July 2024, were included in this retrospective study.

: Third molar (wisdom tooth) extraction is one of the most common surgical procedures in oral and maxillofacial surgery. Traditional rotary instruments and burs have long been the standard tools for this procedure. However, recent advancements in surgical techniques, such as piezoelectric surgery, have gained popularity due to their purported advantages in terms of precision, safety, and postoperative outcomes.

Medical device separation or breakage is not an uncommon incident in routine maxillofacial surgery. The maxillofacial surgical procedures utilize various devices like piezosurgery tips, tungsten carbide burs, chisels and elevators. Instrument breakage or separation may be attributed to substandard grade, overused blunt instruments, repeated autoclaving, improper force application and overheating of instruments.

Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to evaluate how the experience level of two operators affects their performance and accuracy when using computer-assisted dynamic navigation (C-ADN) systems during dental procedures involving thick bone layers, specifically in osteotomy and root-end resections.
- - Results indicated that the less experienced operator exhibited significantly worse performance in terms of task-focused metrics, including longer visuomotor coordination times and higher rates of procedural errors compared to the experienced operator, who showed better overall outcomes.
- - Both operators felt that C-ADN systems improved their surgical skills and patient safety, but only the less experienced operator reported challenges related to mental workload and usability, highlighting a gap in proficiency and comfort with the technology.
