Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 6360-2 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 106, Dentistry, Subcommittee SC 4, Dental
instruments.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 6360-2:1986), which has been technically
revised. It also incorporates the Amendment ISO 6360-2:1986/Amd.1:1991.
ISO 6360 consists of the following parts, under the general title Dentistry — Number coding system for rotary
instruments:
 Part 1: General characteristics
 Part 2: Shapes
 Part 3: Specific characteristics of burs and cutters
 Part 4: Specific characteristics of diamond instruments
 Part 6: Specific characteristics of abrasive instruments
 Part 7: Specific characteristics of mandrels and special instruments
The following part is under preparation:
 Part 5: Specific characteristics of root-canal instruments

Introduction
This part of ISO 6360 is one of a series of International Standards relating to dental rotary instruments. A wide
variety of dental rotary instruments, including root-canal instruments, is manufactured throughout the world for
use by the dental profession.
ISO 6360 provides a general number coding system for all types of dental rotary instruments, including
accessories used in connection with these rotary instruments.
The benefits of this system for dentistry in its entirety will only be derived if the system is widely adopted;
manufacturers of dental instruments, as well as the dental trade, are therefore requested to refer to ISO 6360
in their catalogues.
This part of ISO 6360 was prepared in response to a need by the dental trade and industry and the dental
profession for a universal system of classification and designation for these instruments. It establishes a
comprehensive number coding system suitable for all dental rotary instruments by use of a 15-digit code
number identifying general and specific characteristics of instruments or groups of instruments.
The first group of three digits identifies the materials used for the working part of instruments.
The second group of three digits identifies the shanks and handles used for instruments and the overall
lengths of instruments.
The third group of three digits identifies the shapes of instruments.
The fourth group of three digits identifies the specific characteristics for groups of instruments.
The fifth group of three digits identifies the nominal diameter of the working part of the instruments.
The code numbers are generic code numbers. They do not provide exact product information. This
information is given in the respective product standards for dental rotary instruments.
For the application of the system and for the correct allocation of numbers or their identification, it is intended
that the user consult ISO 6360-1 and this part of ISO 6360 for general information, and in addition one of the
subsequent parts (ISO 6360-3 to ISO 6360-7) for further information on specific characteristics of instruments
or groups of instruments.
For the allocation of new numbers complying with ISO 6360, an application supported by a description and a
drawing should be sent to the secretariat of ISO/TC 106/SC 4, Dental instruments, which keeps updated
records of all numbers currently allocated. An international group of experts will then decide on an appropriate
identification number for the instrument in question, including its specific characteristics. The Secretary will
inform the applicant, in due course, of the result and assist him in using the number correctly. The Secretariat
of ISO/TC 106/SC 4 can be contacted at:

Dentistry — Number coding system for rotary instruments —
Part 2:
Shapes
1 Scope
This part of ISO 6360 specifies the code numbers for the shapes of all dental rotary instruments and for
several accessories used in connection with these instruments. This three-digit number for shape description
forms the third group of three digits in the 15-digit overall number, the principles of which are explained in
ISO 6360-1.
NOTE In addition to terms for rotary instruments and accessories used in two of the three official ISO languages
(English, French and Russian), this part of ISO 6360 gives the equivalent terms in the German language: these are
published under the responsibility of the member body for Germany (DIN). However, only the terms given in the official
languages can be considered as ISO terms.
2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated
references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced
document (including any amendments) applies.
ISO 6360-1, Dentistry — Number coding system for rotary instruments — Part 1: General characteristics
3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in ISO 6360-1 and the following apply.
3.1
wheel
cylindrical rotary instrument used in dentistry in which the length of the working part is 5 % to 100 % of the
diameter
3.2
disc
cylindrical rotary instrument used in dentistry in which the length of the working part is less than 5 % of the
diameter
3.3
torpedo
shape of rotary instrument used in dentistry having a short radius near the tip of the working end
NOTE 1 See code numbers 284 and 294 for illustrations.
NOTE 2 The envelope of the rotating working end is similar to that produced by the revolution of a pointed (Gothic)
arch around its axis of symmetry.
3.4
conical with ogival end
shape of rotary instrument used in dentistry having a long radius near the tip of the working end
NOTE See code number 213 for an illustration.
4 Code numbers for shapes
4.1 General
The general characteristics of the number coding system for rotary instruments are described in ISO 6360-1.
The first and second groups of three digits of the 15-digit overall number are specified in ISO 6360-1.
The third group of three digits identifies the shape of the instrument.
The shapes are designated by a three-digit code number, which appears in the locations seven to nine of the
15-digit overall number.
4.2 Generic form
The code numbers are predominantly based on the geometric form of the rotary instruments. They are
considered as generic, basic code numbers. Neither the illustrations nor the terms or lengths used are
considered as correct product information. The geometric form is the easiest way to distinguish between
different instruments. This differentiation is also used by the practitioner in his daily work. This principle
however cannot be used throughout the complete number coding system. In several cases, the application of
the instruments or the name of the inventor is used for clarification purposes. For simplified identification, it is
considered advantageous to combine instrument names according to their application, e.g. root-canal
instruments, implant burs, bone cutters for surgery.
The general designation of the geometric form applies to that region of the rotary instrument from the shank
(or handle) to the working part. The shank (or handle) is illustrated on the right side of a figure and the working
part on the left side of a figure.
Additional descriptive terms used are
a) for application on the shank side (right side of the figure):
english (en): proximal
french (fr): proximale
german (de): hinten
b) for application on the working-part side (left side of the figure):
en: end or en: distal
fr: bout/frontale fr: distale
de: Stirn de: vorne
For shape/design variations of one type (basic type) of instrument, similar three-digit code numbers are used,
but different digits are used to distinguish each individual pattern. For example a type of cylindrical instrument
may have a number from 107 to 123. The difference in digits indicates variations in the shape of the working
part, the angle of the tip, the length of the head, and/or other characteristics.

4.3 Wheels
For wheels all shapes are classified.
4.4 Discs
For discs all shapes are classified.
4.5 Diamond instruments
For diamond instruments, the basic code numbers shall be used. The exact length of the working part is given
in the locations 10 to 12 (see ISO 6360-4).
EXAMPLE For a diamond instrument with a length of the working part of 4,0 mm, the basic code number is 137. The
previously used code number 139 (which shall not be used) is given in order to ease the transition from the first edition of
ISO 6360-2 (ISO 6360-2:1986) to this edition.
5 Shapes and design
5.1 General shapes and design
Code numbers which shall be used for general shapes and design are given in Table 1. The numbers, shown
