Burs for High Speed Dental Handpieces

I have tried several of those new aggressive friction grip burs in my air driven high speed dental handpiece. I tried Samuarai, Razor, Great White, etc.

In my hands I found that these burs cut a little better than plain old carbide burs. I am wondering if these aggressive burs cut better when they are used in higher torque electric handpieces. Has anybody found a carbide that
really cuts fast and aggressively like the advertisements, and that can also be used in an air driven dental handpiece?

    They do not cut any better in higher torque elctric handpieces. Your better off finding one that works best in your hands and go with it.

    Find Strauss Diamond, Westport Connecticut and ask to try there carbides. Cheap and great..I am in Austalia and do not have the number.
