Follow Komet USA's Diamond Color-Code System to ensure you're choosing the right grit for your diamond bur.
Different steps of a dental procedure require different diamond burs with varying grits. The grits can range from extra-coarse to ultra-fine depending on how much tooth structure must be cut away.
Our diamond burs have color-coded rings on each instrument to ensure you can easily tell the grits of the diamond bur as soon as you grab it from the block.
Extra-Coarse - Purple 
Particle grit size: 230 microns
This includes our
Deep Purple diamond range.
Super-Coarse - Black 
Particle grit size: 180 microns
Coarse - Green 
Particle grit size: 151 microns
Medium - No Color 
Particle grit size: 107 microns

Our coarser burs, including extra-coarse, super-coarse and coarse grits, are used for cutting, while the finer burs, including fine, extra-fine and ultra-fine grits, are used for finishing. Medium grit diamond burs are used for operative dentistry.
