Abstract
Microsurgical drill bits for selective connection to an ultrasonic transducer head for use in dental retro-filling preparations each have a hub at one end for coupling to the transducer head, a cutting tip at the opposite end, and a shaft extending from the hub to the tip. The shaft has one or more steps in diameter at a predetermined position in its length designed for optimum vibration of the cutting tip without increasing the breakage rate above acceptable limits. The drilling tips have shafts which are angled relative to the hub and at least some have bent end portions so that the cutting tip is at an angle to the remainder of the shaft, allowing the transducer head to be held at a comfortable angle.
