Busch Cool-Diamant Football (Egg) Bur | Busch No. CD 80 016 – FG | Pack of 6
The Busch diamond dental bur medium grit CD 80 016 FG Cool-Diamant is a precision-engineered rotary instrument designed for reliable performance in demanding clinical environments. Manufactured in Germany by Busch & Co. GmbH, this bur reflects the high standards of German dental engineering. This pack of 6 ensures consistent availability chairside, reducing downtime and supporting efficient workflow.
Independently tested. In the Medical University of Innsbruck cutting study, Busch’s cooling-groove diamond achieved the highest total cutting length of every bur tested over 40 minutes of continuous use. Read the Innsbruck Study.
Product Overview
The egg-shaped (ovoid) diamond bur in the Cool-Diamant series is specifically formulated for controlled, efficient cutting. Medium grit provides a balance between material removal speed and surface finish quality, making the Busch diamond dental bur medium grit a versatile choice for a range of restorative and preparatory procedures.
Clinical Applications
- Crown Preparation: Ideal for shaping and refining tooth structure prior to crown placement, ensuring accurate marginal definition and preparation geometry.
- Filling Treatment: Suitable for cavity preparation and finishing procedures involving restorative materials, delivering controlled cutting action.
Key Features
- Football (Egg) (ovoid) bur geometry for targeted access and versatile angulation
- Cool-Diamant technology for reduced heat generation during cutting
- Medium grit diamond coating for balanced cutting efficiency and surface quality
- FG (friction grip) shank for compatibility with standard high-speed handpieces
- Made in Germany — precision manufacturing to consistent tolerances
- Supplied as a pack of 6 for practical chairside use
Clinicians who demand accuracy and repeatability will find the Busch diamond dental bur medium grit CD 80 016 FG an asset in their instrument inventory. The Cool-Diamant designation indicates design consideration for thermal management during preparation, contributing to patient comfort and tissue safety.
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 football (egg) head is used for occlusal reduction on posterior teeth and for lingual reduction of anterior teeth; the gold COOL DIAMANT head carries cooling grooves that keep heat down while cutting. The medium coating balances removal rate and surface quality, making it the all-round grit for the main preparation. The 1.6 mm head is a general-purpose size for routine crown and cavity preparation.
