Using chemo-mechanically assisted diamond bur cutting for improved efficiency
Article Abstract:
Dentists can prolong the life of their high-speed drills by putting some alcohol or mouthwash into the coolant. This can prolong the service life of the drill by 50% or more compared to water irrigation only. Coolant must be used to keep the drill from creating too much heat that could damage the tooth.

Cutting efficiency of three diamond bur grit sizes
Article Abstract:
Coarser-grit diamond burs can remove more tooth material than medium-grit burs but may have adverse effects on enamel. Dentists should keep this in mind when using the coarse- and super-coarse-grit burs.
