The portion of a bur that fits into the handpiece chuck is called the shank. Burs come in various shank designs, such as friction grip, latch type, or straight shank, to ensure compatibility with different handpieces. The shank is crucial for securely holding the bur in place during dental procedures. Proper selection of the shank type is essential for effective and safe operation.
