Busch Cool-Diamant Pointed Bur | Busch No. CD 55 016 – FG | Pack of 6
The cool diamant diamond dental bur medium grit from Busch & Co. GmbH is a precision-engineered rotary instrument designed for demanding dental procedures including crown preparation and filling treatment. Its pointed diamond tip geometry provides controlled access and efficient material removal across a range of clinical applications.
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.

Clinical Applications
The cool diamant diamond dental bur medium grit is well-suited for crown preparation workflows where precise tooth reduction and margin definition are critical. It is equally effective for filling treatment procedures, enabling clinicians to refine cavity preparations with consistency and control. The medium grit designation provides a balanced combination of cutting efficiency and surface finish quality.
Why Choose the Cool Diamant Series?
The Cool Diamant range from Busch is recognised for its consistent diamond particle distribution and reliable performance across multiple uses. When working with the cool diamant diamond dental bur medium grit, clinicians benefit from a bur that maintains its cutting effectiveness throughout the procedure, reducing chair time and supporting predictable clinical outcomes.
Manufactured in Germany, this instrument reflects the quality and craftsmanship associated with Busch & Co. GmbH, a long-established name in dental rotary instrument production. Each pack contains 6 burs, making it a practical choice for busy dental practices.
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 pointed (needle) head opens fissures, slices interproximally and refines fine occlusal anatomy, and its COOL DIAMANT cooling grooves reduce heat build-up in use. As a medium-grit instrument it carries the main part of the preparation once bulk reduction is done. A 1.6 mm head is a mid-range size that works on both anterior and posterior preparations.
