Busch Cool-Diamant Flame Bur | Busch No. CD 61G 016 – Coarse Grit – FG | Pack of 6
The coarse grit diamond dental bur from Busch & Co. GmbH — the CD 61G 016 FG Cool-Diamant — is a precision-engineered rotary instrument designed for demanding restorative and prosthetic procedures. Supplied in a convenient pack of 6, this bur is built to deliver consistent, controlled 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.
Key Features
- Shape: Flame (FG shank)
- Grit: Coarse — identified by a Green Ring colour coding
- Series: Cool-Diamant
- Pack Size: 6 burs per pack
- Made in Germany — manufactured to the exacting quality standards associated with German dental instrumentation
Clinical Applications
This coarse grit diamond dental bur is suited to two primary clinical uses:
- Crown Preparation — The flame shape and coarse diamond grit facilitate efficient tooth reduction and margin definition during crown preparation procedures.
- Filling Treatment — Ideal for surface preparation and finishing work associated with filling treatment protocols.
About Cool-Diamant Technology
The Cool-Diamant series is engineered to support effective cutting while helping to manage heat generation during use. The coarse grit diamond dental bur in this series is a reliable choice for clinicians who require aggressive stock removal with the precision expected from a high-quality diamond instrument. The flame geometry allows access to anatomically challenging areas with accuracy.
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 flame shape follows interproximal and occlusal anatomy and refines contours and margins, and its COOL DIAMANT cooling grooves reduce heat build-up in use. The 1.6 mm head is a general-purpose size for routine crown and cavity preparation. Being coarse, it is a bulk-reduction instrument rather than a finishing one.
