Abstract

Some studies about application devices that have been developed in our laboratory are presented. Some characterizations show the quality of free-standing CVD diamond film. An improvement of CVD diamond burrs will be presented, including laser cutting of diamond film, processes for soldering the film to the stainless steel tips, and statistical performance of the burrs. Basic studies were carried out in order to improve the film quality. These results gave us support for the scaling-up of a hot-filament system for the manufacturing of CVD diamond burrs.

    Citation Excerpt :

    Diamond-coated dental burrs are an excellent option to substitute the conventional ones [11,12], which are made by embedding synthetic diamond particles into the working surfaces using a binder matrix material containing metallic ions. Those ions are responsible for contaminating of oral tissues, inflammatory responses, tissue disturbance and metal artifacts on magnetic resonance images [5,11–13]. The deposition of a diamond coating without metallic binder between the crystals would be extremely helpful in terms of reducing contamination-related problems.
