Clinical Applications
This Busch diamond dental bur medium grit instrument is well-suited to two primary clinical procedures:
- Crown Preparation: The pointed geometry and medium grit facilitate precise tooth reduction and margin definition during crown preparation workflows.
- Filling Treatment: Effective for shaping and finishing composite or other restorative materials as part of filling treatment protocols.
Why Choose Cool-Diamant?
The Cool-Diamant series from Busch reflects a commitment to consistent diamond particle distribution and reliable cutting behaviour across multiple uses. As a Busch diamond dental bur medium grit product, the CD 55 018 delivers the quality and repeatability that clinicians and dental technicians expect from a German-engineered instrument.
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.
