Why Choose This Bur?
The cool diamant diamond dental bur range is specifically formulated to reduce heat generation during cutting, helping to protect the pulp and surrounding tooth structure. The inverted cone profile makes it well-suited for undercut preparation and refining cavity walls with accuracy. Medium grit provides a balance between fast material removal and a controlled finish, making it a versatile choice for restorative procedures.
Manufactured in Germany, this instrument reflects the high standards of precision engineering that Busch & Co. GmbH is known for throughout the dental industry. Each cool diamant diamond dental bur in this pack is produced to consistent dimensional tolerances, ensuring predictable clinical results across multiple uses.

Clinical Application
The CD 12 018 FG is intended for cavity and fissure preparation on natural dentition. The friction grip shank is compatible with standard high-speed handpieces. Its medium grit diamond coating supports efficient enamel and dentin cutting while maintaining a manageable surface finish.
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.
