Why Choose This Bur?
As a coarse diamond dental bur crown preparation instrument made in Germany, the CD 55G 018 FG COOL-DIAMANT reflects Busch & Co. GmbH's long-standing commitment to precision engineering. The Cool Diamant series is recognized for consistent diamond bonding and predictable cutting performance across a wide range of clinical applications.
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.
