• Crown Preparation — precise tooth reduction and margin definition for full and partial coverage restorations
• Filling Treatment — efficient preparation and finishing of restorative cavity preparations

The Cool-Diamant technology is formulated to support smooth, controlled cutting strokes, helping to maintain preparation accuracy and extend bur longevity. As a trusted Busch diamond dental bur medium grit option, the CD 57 016 FG is suitable for clinicians seeking repeatable results in daily restorative workflows.

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.
