The cool diamant diamond dental bur medium grit from Busch & Co. GmbH is a precision-engineered rotary instrument designed to meet the exacting demands of modern restorative and prosthodontic dentistry. Available in a convenient pack of six, this flame-shaped bur delivers consistent, reliable performance across a range of clinical applications.
Key Features
- Shape: Flame (CD 61 016 FG)
- Grit: Medium — suitable for efficient tooth reduction while maintaining surface quality
- Series: Cool-Diamant — engineered to minimise heat generation during preparation
- Made in Germany — manufactured to the high standards associated with German dental instrumentation
Instrument Dimensions
| Head Ø | 1.6 mm (ISO size 016) |
|---|---|
| Shank | FG (Friction Grip) — 1.60 mm Ø, 19 mm overall length (ISO 314) |
Per ISO 6360, the size number is the maximum head diameter in tenths of a millimeter. See our Busch Bur Size Chart for the full size conversion table, shank codes, and color ring guide.
Clinical Applications
The cool diamant diamond dental bur medium grit is well-suited for two primary procedures:
- Crown Preparation: Achieves accurate, smooth margins and consistent taper for full-coverage restorations.
- Filling Treatment: Facilitates controlled cavity refinement and surface finishing prior to restorative placement.
The medium grit formulation balances material removal rate with surface finish, making the cool diamant diamond dental bur medium grit a practical choice for everyday clinical use. The flame geometry provides access to interproximal and occlusal areas with precision.
Pack Information
This listing includes a pack of 6 burs (CD 61 016 FG), offering a cost-effective solution for practices with high instrument turnover or for maintaining sterile, single-use protocols.
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.
