Busch Carbide Bone Taper (Cone) Pointed Cutter | Busch No. 166 021 – RA-L | Pack of 2

Pack of 2. The Busch No. 166 021 – RA-L is a carbide taper (cone) pointed bone cutter with a 2.1 mm (ISO 021) head fitted to a long latch-type (RA-L) shank, giving extra working length from a slow-speed contra-angle handpiece. It shares its head geometry with the 166 021 RA but reaches further; Busch & Co. GmbH manufactures it in Germany.

Why choose the RA-L version

The long RA shank is typically preferred when the operative site is deep or far posterior — for example distal to a second molar or in a deep osteotomy — because it moves the contra-angle head away from the tissue and improves visibility. Combined with the 2.1 mm head, this makes it suited to efficient bone removal where standard-length burs would be awkward to position.

Also available: No. 166 021 – RA, No. 166A 021 – HP, No. 166A 021 – RA-L, No. 166A 021 – RA.
