Busch Cool-Diamant Cylinder Rounded Edge Bur | Busch No. CD 25G 012 – Coarse Grit – FG | Pack of 6
The coarse diamond dental bur cylinder rounded edge from Busch & Co. GmbH is engineered for demanding crown preparation procedures where precision and material removal efficiency are essential. Designed under the Cool-Diamant series, this bur delivers consistent cutting performance across a range of clinical applications.
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 CD 25G 012 FG Cool-Diamant is a cylinder rounded edge diamond bur with a coarse grit designation, identified by its Green Ring color coding. Its geometry is optimized for controlled axial and marginal reduction, making it a reliable choice for practitioners who require accuracy at every stage of preparation.

Crown Preparation
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.

With its flat end and rounded edge, this cylinder shapes axial walls and defines a shoulder or rounded-shoulder finish line, and its COOL DIAMANT cooling grooves reduce heat build-up in use. The 1.2 mm head is a slim size, suited to anterior teeth, narrow interproximal spaces and detail work. The coarse diamond coating is meant for fast, gross reduction; follow with a medium or fine instrument to refine the preparation.
