Clinical Application
The cool diamant diamond dental bur medium grit is optimised for cavity and fissure preparation, making it a reliable choice for practitioners who require predictable tissue removal and smooth surface finishes. The medium grit diamond coating provides an effective balance between cutting aggressiveness and surface quality, suitable for both initial preparation and refinement stages.
As part of the Cool Diamant range, this bur is engineered to reduce heat generation during use, supporting patient comfort and preserving tooth structure integrity. The FG shank ensures compatibility with standard high-speed handpieces used in contemporary dental practices.
Why Choose Cool Diamant?
The cool diamant diamond dental bur medium grit reflects Busch's commitment to German-made precision instrumentation. Each bur in this series is produced with consistent diamond particle distribution to ensure reliable, repeatable cutting characteristics across the full pack of 6.
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.
