[The effects of sterilization with microwaves on diamond burs].
The author evaluates microwave sterilization effects on diamond dental burs by viewing them under stereomicroscope before and after sterilization cycles. After fifteen cycles it has been observed that no damage was present. Such sterilizing system can be used as an alternative method against disposable burs. This study does not treat about its biological efficacy.
