Key Features
The cool diamant coarse diamond dental bur is part of the Cool Diamant series, which is engineered to minimize heat generation during preparation, helping to protect the pulp and surrounding tissues. The coarse grit formulation facilitates efficient bulk reduction, making this instrument particularly well-suited for crown preparation procedures.
Manufactured in Germany to stringent quality standards, each cool diamant coarse diamond dental bur offers consistent diamond particle distribution for predictable cutting performance across the full working life of the instrument.
Instrument Dimensions
| Head Ø | 1.8 mm (ISO size 018) |
|---|---|
| Shank | FG (Friction Grip) — 1.60 mm Ø, 19 mm overall length (ISO 314) |
Per ISO 6360, the size number is the maximum head diameter in tenths of a millimeter. See our Busch Bur Size Chart for the full size conversion table, shank codes, and color ring guide.
Clinical Application
This bur is optimized for crown preparation, where its taper (cone) round geometry enables precise axial wall and occlusal reduction. The FG shank ensures compatibility with standard high-speed handpieces used in clinical practice.
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.
