Busch Cool-Diamant Flame Bur | Busch No. CD 60 012 – FG | Pack of 6
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.
Cool Diamant Diamond Dental Bur Medium Grit – Flame Shape for Precision Crown and Filling Work
The cool diamant diamond dental bur medium grit from Busch & Co. GmbH is a flame-shaped rotary instrument engineered for demanding dental applications, including crown preparation and filling treatment. Designed and manufactured in Germany, this bur reflects the precision and quality standards that dental professionals expect from a trusted European instrument maker.
Key Features
- Shape: Flame – optimised for controlled access and contouring in crown prep procedures
- Grit: Medium – delivering an efficient material removal rate while maintaining surface quality
- Application: Crown Preparation and Filling Treatment
- Origin: Made in Germany
- Pack Size: Pack of 6 (CD 60 012 FG)
Why Choose the Cool Diamant Diamond Dental Bur Medium Grit?
The cool diamant diamond dental bur medium grit is specifically suited for clinicians who require consistent cutting performance across a range of restorative and prosthetic workflows. The flame geometry provides excellent access to subgingival margins, making it a reliable choice for crown preparation protocols. For filling treatment scenarios, the medium grit formulation allows controlled preparation without excessive tooth structure removal.
Supplied in a convenient pack of 6, the CD 60 012 FG ensures that your clinic maintains an adequate supply of this versatile instrument. Each bur in the pack meets the same manufacturing tolerances, supporting repeatable clinical outcomes session after session.
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. At 1.2 mm the head is narrow, which favours anterior preparations and confined spaces. Medium grit is the standard working grit for the main preparation after gross reduction.
