Busch Cool-Diamant Taper (Cone) Round Bur | Busch No. CD 48 016 – FG | Pack of 6
The cool diamant diamond dental bur CD 48 016 FG from Busch & Co. GmbH is a precision-engineered rotary instrument designed for demanding crown preparation procedures. Built to meet the exacting standards of modern restorative dentistry, this instrument delivers consistent, controlled cutting performance in clinical environments.
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.
Product Overview
This pack of 6 features the Cool-Diamant series bur in a taper (cone) round geometry with medium grit diamond coating. The taper (cone) round shape is specifically suited for crown preparation, enabling clinicians to refine margins and taper axial walls with accuracy. The cool diamant diamond dental bur is engineered to reduce heat generation during cutting, helping to protect pulpal tissue and improve patient comfort.
Applications
The cool diamant diamond dental bur is well-suited for the following clinical procedures:
 |
Crown Preparation — Reduction of tooth structure to create the margins and clearance required for a crown. |

Why Choose the Cool-Diamant Series?
The cool diamant diamond dental bur range from Busch is manufactured in Germany, reflecting decades of expertise in precision dental instrument production. German engineering ensures tight tolerances, reliable concentricity, and a consistent diamond layer that supports predictable clinical outcomes across the full pack of instruments.
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.

Podiatry Use
The CD 48 016 is a Cool-Diamant taper (cone) round bur on a 1.6 mm FG shank, listed by Busch for callus and nail smoothing on turbine units with cooling water. Peripheral cooling grooves in the diamond are designed for cool, soft treatment. See diamond podiatry burs and podiatry burs for nail-edge and fine work.

The round-ended taper creates convergent axial walls with a rounded chamfer margin and is a common choice for full-crown preparation, and its COOL DIAMANT cooling grooves reduce heat build-up in use. Medium grit is the standard working grit for the main preparation after gross reduction. A 1.6 mm head is a mid-range size that works on both anterior and posterior preparations.
