• Grit: Fine — identified by the Red Ring
• Series: Cool Diamant — engineered for reduced frictional heat during preparation
• Shank: FG (Friction Grip) — compatible with standard high-speed handpieces
• Origin: Made in Germany
• Pack: Supplied as a pack of 2

Instrument Dimensions

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.

Applications

The cool diamant fine grit diamond dental bur is well-suited for the following clinical procedures:

	Crown Preparation — Reduction of tooth structure to create the margins and clearance required for a crown.
	Filling Treatment — Contouring, finishing and polishing of amalgam and composite restorations.

Why Choose Cool Diamant?

As a cool diamant fine grit diamond dental bur, the CD 60F 012 is part of Busch's professional-grade instrument range. The Cool Diamant design philosophy prioritises thermal management during rotary cutting, helping to protect pulpal health and maintain cutting efficiency across multiple uses. German manufacturing standards ensure consistent diamond particle distribution and bond integrity.

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.

FAQ

What does the Red Ring indicate? The Red Ring is the ISO colour-coding standard for fine grit diamond instruments, distinguishing them from coarser or extra-fine alternatives.

Is this bur compatible with standard high-speed handpieces? Yes. The FG (Friction Grip) shank is the universally accepted connection for high-speed turbine handpieces used in clinical dentistry.

How many burs are included? Each purchase includes a pack of 2 burs.
