Why Choose the Cool Diamant Diamond Dental Bur?

The cool diamant diamond dental bur is engineered to deliver reliable, repeatable cutting performance in clinical environments. German manufacturing standards are reflected in the consistent diamond particle distribution and robust shank construction, ensuring that each bur in the pack performs to the same high specification. Whether preparing occlusal cavities or refining fissure morphology, this instrument supports predictable outcomes.

As a cool diamant diamond dental bur, the CD 18 016 FG is particularly valued for its balance between cutting efficiency and tactile feedback, allowing the clinician to maintain precise control throughout the preparation process.

Cavity and Fissure 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.
