The Cool-Diamant designation reflects a design optimised to reduce heat generation during cutting, supporting patient comfort and procedural accuracy.
Key Applications
- Crown Preparation: The cylinder pointed form provides precise marginal definition and controlled depth during crown prep procedures.
- Filling Treatment: Effective for cavity refinement and preparation of restorative margins with consistent grit performance.
Product Highlights
- Diamond type: Cool-Diamant
- Shape: Cylinder Pointed
- Grit: Medium
- Shank: FG (Friction Grip)
- Pack quantity: 6 burs per pack
- Made in Germany
Each pack contains 6 units of this Busch diamond dental bur cylinder pointed medium grit, offering excellent value for busy dental practices that require a dependable supply of high-quality rotary instruments. German engineering standards underpin the manufacturing process, ensuring dimensional consistency and coating integrity across every bur in the pack.
Independent Research: Test Winner at Innsbruck
In an independent laboratory study at the Medical University of Innsbruck, Busch’s COOL DIAMANT design achieved the highest cutting performance in both test series — outperforming same-shape, same-grit diamonds from up to ten competing manufacturers. Under standardized conditions (200,000 rpm turbine, constant 152 g load, 10–40 minutes of continuous cutting on 99.5% Al₂O₃ ceramic), the COOL DIAMANT instrument removed significantly more material than burs from Diatech, Edenta, Horico and Komet (p < 0.05), and in the second series the standard Busch diamond placed second only to its cooling-groove sibling. The authors concluded that instruments with cooling grooves deliver higher grinding performance and need replacing less often.

The pointed cylinder reaches into tight interproximal spaces while still cutting straight axial walls; the gold COOL DIAMANT head carries cooling grooves that keep heat down while cutting. Medium grit is the standard working grit for the main preparation after gross reduction. A 1.6 mm head is a mid-range size that works on both anterior and posterior preparations.
