Busch Cool-Diamant Flame Bur | Busch No. CD 60 016 – FG | Pack of 6
The cool diamant diamond dental bur CD 60 016 FG from Busch & Co. GmbH is a precision-engineered flame-shaped diamond instrument designed for demanding clinical applications. This pack of 6 ensures you maintain a consistent supply of high-quality rotary instruments in your practice.
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
Featuring a flame geometry and medium grit diamond coating, the cool diamant diamond dental bur is optimised for controlled material removal while minimising heat generation during preparation. The Cool Diamant designation reflects its engineering focus on reducing thermal stress to both the tooth structure and surrounding tissues.
Key Applications
- Crown Preparation — The flame shape and medium grit make this bur well suited for precise crown margin definition and axial wall reduction.
- Filling Treatment — Ideal for contouring, finishing, and surface refinement during restorative filling procedures.
Product Highlights
- Shape: Flame (FG shank)
- Grit: Medium
- Series: Cool Diamant
- Pack quantity: 6 burs
- Made in Germany
As a cool diamant diamond dental bur manufactured in Germany, this instrument reflects the stringent quality standards and precision craftsmanship that Busch & Co. GmbH has built its reputation on. German-made dental instruments are widely recognised for their dimensional accuracy and consistent diamond particle distribution.
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, and its COOL DIAMANT cooling grooves reduce heat build-up in use. A 1.6 mm head is a mid-range size that works on both anterior and posterior preparations. The medium coating balances removal rate and surface quality, making it the all-round grit for the main preparation.
