Busch Cool-Diamant Flame Bur | Busch No. CD 61G 012 – Coarse Grit – FG | Pack of 6
The cool diamant coarse diamond dental bur from Busch & Co. GmbH is a precision-engineered rotary instrument designed to meet the demanding standards of modern restorative and prosthodontic dentistry. Featuring a flame-shaped head and coarse grit diamond coating, this bur is identified by its green ring, making chairside selection straightforward and reliable.
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 (CD 61G)
- Grit: Coarse – ideal for rapid material removal and initial preparation
- Identifier: Green ring color coding for coarse grit
- Shank: FG (Friction Grip) for use with high-speed handpieces
- Pack size: 6 burs per pack for consistent clinical supply
- Made in Germany – manufactured to stringent quality standards
Clinical Applications
This cool diamant coarse diamond dental bur is specifically suited for two primary clinical procedures:
- Crown Preparation: The flame geometry facilitates precise subgingival and supragingival margin definition, enabling accurate crown seat preparation.
- Filling Treatment: Effective for finishing, contouring, and preparing cavity margins when working with restorative materials.
The Cool Diamant series is engineered to operate efficiently, helping to minimise heat generation during cutting — a key consideration for pulp health and patient comfort. As a cool diamant coarse diamond dental bur, this instrument delivers consistent cutting performance across multiple uses when used with appropriate water cooling.
Quality & Origin
Manufactured in Germany, Busch & Co. GmbH brings decades of expertise in rotary dental instrument production. German engineering ensures tight tolerances, uniform diamond particle distribution, and reliable shank fit for high-speed FG handpieces.
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; the gold COOL DIAMANT head carries cooling grooves that keep heat down while cutting. Being coarse, it is a bulk-reduction instrument rather than a finishing one. The 1.2 mm head is a slim size, suited to anterior teeth, narrow interproximal spaces and detail work.
