Busch Cool-Diamant Cylinder Pointed Bur | Busch No. CD 78G 016 – Coarse Grit – FG | Pack of 6
The coarse diamond cylinder dental bur from Busch & Co. GmbH is engineered for demanding dental procedures that require aggressive, controlled material removal. Designed with a cylinder pointed geometry and a coarse grit diamond coating, this instrument delivers the cutting efficiency needed for crown preparation and filling treatment with consistent, reliable results.
Product Overview
The CD 78G 016 FG COOL-DIAMANT features a green ring designation, indicating its coarse grit classification — ideal for rapid reduction of hard tooth structure. The cylinder pointed form factor provides precise access and consistent contact across preparation surfaces. As a coarse diamond cylinder dental bur, it is well-suited for both initial crown preparation and restorative filling treatment workflows.

Clinical Applications
This coarse diamond cylinder dental bur is designed to support two primary clinical workflows: Crown Preparation and Filling Treatment. The coarse grit allows efficient enamel and dentin reduction during crown prep, while the cylinder pointed tip provides the control necessary for accurate margin definition and cavity refinement in filling treatment procedures.

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.
