Lab carbide cutters are dental instruments that are used to cut and prepare teeth for crowns, bridges, and other restorations. They are made of tungsten carbide, which makes them very hard and durable. Lab carbide cutters come in a variety of shapes and sizes, each designed for a specific purpose.

There are many different types of lab carbide cutters, but some of the most common include:

• Inlay cutters: These cutters are used to create inlays, which are fillings that are made in a dental laboratory.

• Veneer cutters: These cutters are used to create veneers, which are thin shells of tooth-colored material that are bonded to the front of teeth.
  
  
• Crown cutters: These cutters are used to create crowns, which are complete coverings for teeth.
