Full title and description
ISO 10323:2013 — Dentistry — Bore diameters for rotary instruments such as discs and wheels. This International Standard specifies bore (alésage) diameters for metallic discs and metallic wheels used in dentistry to ensure interchangeability with the mandrels and handpiece carriers that operate them.
Abstract
ISO 10323:2013 defines the bore diameters and related dimensional information for rotary dental instruments (discs and wheels) to achieve mechanical interchangeability between the rotating accessories and the mandrels or holders used in dental handpieces. The standard is brief and focuses on the essential dimensional requirements rather than material or performance characteristics.

- Number of pages: 3 (ISO official PDF length).
Scope
Specifies bore diameters for rotary instruments such as metallic discs and metallic wheels used in dentistry in order to achieve interchangeability between the discs/wheels and the mandrels with which they are used in a dental handpiece. The standard sets dimensional values and references normative terms/definitions required to apply those dimensions in manufacturing and procurement contexts.
Key topics and requirements
- Definition of applicable rotary accessories (metallic discs, metallic wheels) and the intended interface with mandrels and handpieces.
- Specified bore (alésage) diameters to ensure interchangeability and fit with standardized mandrels.
- Normative references, terms and definitions required to interpret the dimensional requirements.
- Short, focused structure covering dimensions and basic testing/verification where applicable.
- Designed to be used together with related dental rotary-instrument standards (mandrels, nominal diameters, shanks, designation codes).
Typical use and users
Used by dental instrument manufacturers, mandrel and handpiece designers, dental laboratory equipment producers, quality-control and procurement teams, and standards/ regulatory specialists who need to ensure dimensional compatibility of rotary discs and wheels with mandrels and handpieces. Purchasing departments and conformity assessors refer to it when specifying or verifying accessory compatibility.
Related standards
Standards commonly used together with ISO 10323 include ISO 13295 (mandrels for rotary instruments), ISO 2157 (nominal diameters and designation code numbers for rotary instruments), and other ISO/TC 106/SC 4 dental-rotary-instrument standards covering shanks, burs and instrument coding. ISO 10323:2013 supersedes the earlier ISO 10323:1991 edition.

FAQ
Q: What is this standard?
A: ISO 10323:2013 is an International Standard that specifies the bore diameters for dental rotary accessories (metallic discs and wheels) to ensure they are interchangeable with mandrels and handpiece carriers.
Q: What does it cover?
A: It covers dimensional (bore) requirements, associated terms/definitions and brief normative references needed to ensure discs and wheels fit standardized mandrels used in dental practice and laboratories.
Q: Who typically uses it?
A: Dental instrument manufacturers, mandrel/handpiece designers, dental laboratories, procurement and quality teams, and conformity assessors who require dimensional compatibility between accessories and holders.
Q: Is it current or superseded?
A: ISO 10323:2013 is the current edition (Edition 2) published 6 February 2013 and was last reviewed and confirmed by ISO in 2023, so it remains current as of the latest ISO review. It supersedes ISO 10323:1991.
