LD1373 and LD 1372 to have all you need with the essentials, available from all
Komet distributors around the world.

The kit burs LD1373 and LD1372 are designed to allow the clinician to manage the
different phases of restorative dentistry in both front and posterior areas. LD1373 is
dedicated to the preparation and finishing of direct restorations, LD1372 is for
indirect restorations.

Every single set of burs was simplified to 12 points, in ergonomic stainless steel
blocks. All burs, both FG and CA, can fit into these blocks, with a rubber fall arrest
system for each single tip and a cover that can be closed. Finally, the
convenience is that this type of kit can be disinfected and autoclaved without
having to carry out these procedures for every single tip.

Let’s introduce both kits, DIRECT and INDIRECT:

The special design provides toothing with a pyramid-shaped cutting tip
useful for this purpose.
A distinctive characteristic is the transversing blade which creates an
end-cutting tip which gives the H32 its impressive axial drilling ability and
ensures low resistance to penetration. The blade configuration features a
large chip space which provides optimal cutting action with relatively low
heat generation.
Old amalgam fillings are removed in no time at all and with relatively low
heat generation, releasing only a minimum of potentially toxic mercury

 830 314 007

Cavity access. Diamond. Working head, maximum Ø 0.7 mm.

830 007 is a pear diamond bur with medium grit (107 μm) and 2.7
mm length of working part, appropriate to perforate the enamel
but not too aggressively, in order to be controlled accurately. This
bur is suitable for many situations of cavity’s access, especially
when the enamel must be perforated and in situations with tight
access where you must evaluate the amount of caries enlargement
in dentine, both for occlusal cavities, proximal or other areas.
Another aim is the preparation of small cavities with slight
undercuts.

Restoration remover and suitable for cavity preparation. Diamond.

Working head, maximum Ø 1.2 mm.
S6830L 012 is a pear diamond bur, coarse grit (151 μm), with a long working part
(4 mm). This bur’s design (S series, identifiable with gold-plated shank) has
staggered plane sur faces, which assures increased material reduction, good
chip removal, better cooling and more tooth substance than conventional
diamond instruments can remove. To achieve an optimal sur face roughness,
subsequent finishing is necessary.
Its purpose is to remove old restorations quickly and easily and to allow the
preparation of medium and large cavities even with undercuts.
The FG attachment is for the red ring speed-increasing handpiece
(recommended use) and turbine. Speed range 100.000 (opt.)- 300.000 (max.)

for access of sulcus or very narrow cavities. This ultraconservative
bur allows the creation of minimal cavities in order to probe and
excavate a very small amount of sound hard tissue.
The choice of carbide instead of diamond, is because in such
small diameter the cutting surface is longer lasting and more
effective.

Caries removers. Tungsten carbide.
Working head respectively Ø 1.0 mm and 1.6 mm.
H1SEM are round tungsten carbide burs with slim neck for improved
vision especially under magnification. These burs are suitable for caries
excavation and cavity preparation in dentine, both in small (010) and
medium/large (016) cavities. Their multi blade design has staggered
toothing with high-efficiency cutting design for excavating compared
to the conventional round burs. These burs are also useful for some
minor corrections during preparation and finishing restoration phases.
The CA attachment is for the blue ring contra-angle handpiece
(recommended use) and any other contra-angle with CA attachment.

8858 is a diamond bur fine grit (46 μm), pointed shape. Its main aim is to
create the finishing cavity margin both in posterior and anterior cavities.
The margin preparation and finishing is another main application;
obtaining the bevel is easy and predictable like in buccal sur faces of

8801 is a diamond bur fine grit (46 μm), round shaped. Its purpose is to
create chamfer margin on a buccal class IV cavity around 1.0 mm
depth, whenever the clinician wants to have this finishing line. This bur is
useful in posterior cavity preparations, when some old restoration spots
(i.e. composite) remain in undercut areas or other difficult access areas.
It is very useful for the accurate occlusal adjustments of new
restorations, especially in posterior areas.

5862 is a diamond bur super coarse grit (181 μm), flame shaped.
This very aggressive bur is suitable for creating horizontal texture
on composite anterior restorations; for this purpose it is important
to reduce the speed and manage the pressure according to the
texture effect desired. Furthermore it is indicated when a very hard
restoration material has to be cut, such as ceramic.

9401 and 9402 are conical polishers for composite. These
polishers are interspersed with diamond grit; they must be used
with water coolant and low speed, the attachment is for
contra angle. The fine grit 4 0 μ m (9401 the pink one) and the
ultrafine grit 6 μ m (9402 the grey one) are in the direct kit
LD1373, for more aggressive finishing the fine diamond burs,

959KRD 018 working head max Ø 1.8 mm and min Ø 1.4 mm; length 6 mm.
6847KRD 016 working head max Ø 1.6 mm and min Ø 1.0 mm; length 8 mm.
959KRD and 6847KRD are diamond burs respectively medium grit (107 μm) and
coarse grit (151 μm), tapered shoulder with rounded edge (indicated by the code
“KR”), the winkle angle is 2°. These burs are suitable for shoulder with internal round
shapes and butt joint preparation (adhesive preparations), both have depth
marks (indicated by the code “D”), useful in order to determine the depth of the
occlusal reduction. Plunging completely the markers the depth is at 2 and 4 mm,
but if you enter them at the beginning of the marker the depth is at 1.3 and 3.3
mm.
959KRD is more adequate for second molars and in cases of limited spaces with
the opponent dentition, 6847KRD is adequate for harder tissues and materials and
where enough space with the opponent dentition is present.

The main sequence for onlay preparations and finishing of all sides of the tooth.
Diamond. Working head max Ø 1.6 mm and min Ø 1.0 mm; length 8 mm.
These diamond burs respectively coarse grit (151 μm), fine grit (46 μm) and extra fine
(25 μm); they have a tapered shoulder with a rounded edge, the winkle angle is 2°.
This sequence of burs represents the main one about onlay preparations or any
other butt joint and rounded shoulder indirect, thanks to depth marks of 6847KRD,
the fine grit for first finishing of 8847KR and the extra fine of 847KREF for the last
finishing of the surfaces and margins. The fine grit (red ring) is included to avoid
passing directly from the coarse grit (red ring) to extra fine (yellow ring).
Thanks to the 1 mm diameter on the apex, this bur is suitable also for interproximal
shoulder preparations, where, after the first preparation of 847 314 012, it is possible
to sink all the depth of this sequence burs, usually excluding 6847KRD in this area and
proceeding only with the finishing two (fine and extra fine grit).
The FG attachment is for the red ring speed-increasing handpiece (recommended
use) and turbine. Speed range 100.000 (opt.)- 300.000 (max.) m i n - 1 /rpm for
preparation purpose, but for finishing low speed is suggested(20.000 m i n - 1 /rpm).

very useful for starting preparation in the interproximal area, both for
access and preparation of the box.

Modified chamfer by Domenico Massironi, preparation and finishing. Diamond.
Working head Ø 1.2 mm; length 9 mm.
2979 012 and 8979 012 are diamond burs chamfer modified shape
respectively coarse grit (151 μm) and fine grit (46 μm). These burs are suitable
for the sequence of chamfer preparation (first preparation and finishing) for
laminates and ultraconservative crowns. The length of the working part is 9
mm. The first preparation with the coarse grit assures to not over heating the
sur face thanks to the diamond lower friction, being also more effective in the
preparation.
In case you want to prepare a veneer with 0.6 mm depth, you can use the
2979 012 to create the vertical guide groove (instead of using the 868B 018
which creates a horizontal groove of 0.3 mm) in the early stages of the
preparation.

(recommended use) and turbine. Speed range 100.000 (opt.)- 300.000 (max.)
