C | Densah™ Burs
Densah™ Burs for implant osteotomy preparation from Versah LLC have a non-excavating proprietary flute design that precisely cuts bone when turning clockwise and densifies bone when rotated in reverse. This technique, known as Osseodensification, autografts bone along the entire length of the osteotomy with the use of irrigation. The result leads to improved implant stability and potentially earlier loading.
