The most commonly used shapes in veterinary dentistry are tapered fissure burs and round burs. Fissure burs can be either cylindrical or tapered with cutting surfaces on the side of the bur. Round burs are ball shape and have cutting surfaces around the whole surface of the ball. Other shapes are available and include pear shaped, inverted cones amongst others.

Burs suitable for use in a high speed handpiece are called friction grip burs (FG). Latch grip (RA) burs are suitable for contra-angle handpieces and HP burs are suitable for straight handpieces.
Burs suitable for use in a high speed handpiece are called friction grip burs (FG). Latch grip (RA) burs are suitable for contra-angle handpieces and HP burs are suitable for straight handpieces.
Burs used in high speed handpieces are typically used for sectioning the teeth during extraction, for crown preparation or for endodontic access into the tooth
Latch grip burs are used in slow speed handpieces and are used for bone removal (with coolant) or finer, more controlled cavity prepartaions
HP burs are used on a straigh nose cone hand piece - the most common bur used for removal of tooth substance for crown height reduction in rabbits, typically a small round or fissure bur or an acrylic trimmer as illustrated.
