    Abstract: A dental burr holder includes an elongated burr block defining a cylindrical lateral base and a plurality of upwardly extending generally cylindrical bore supports molded in a single unit. The burr supports each define respective bores extending downwardly therein configured to receive a plurality of dental burrs. A generally U-shaped burr cover is formed of a resilient material and defines a pair of inwardly extending faceted bosses at the lower ends of each of the burr cover end pieces. The cylindrical base of the burr block defines corresponding faceted recesses which receive the faceted bosses to provide a detented attachment between the burr block cover and the burr block. The relative position between the burr block cover and the burr block may be varied by detented rotation therebetween.
