Busch Cool-Diamant Flame Bur | Busch No. CD 60F 016 – Fine Grit – FG | Pack of 2
The cool diamant fine grit diamond dental bur from Busch & Co. GmbH is a precision-engineered rotary instrument designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern restorative and prosthodontic dentistry. Available in a convenient pack of two, this flame-shaped diamond bur features a fine grit designation and is identifiable by its red ring color coding — a universally recognized standard for fine grit instruments.
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.
Key Features
- Shape: Flame (CD 60F)
- Grit: Fine (Red Ring)
- Series: Cool Diamant
- Reference: CD 60F 016 FG
- Pack Quantity: 2 burs per pack
- Origin: Made in Germany
Clinical Applications
The cool diamant fine grit diamond dental bur is well suited for two primary clinical procedures. Its flame geometry and fine diamond coating support controlled, smooth reduction during crown preparation, allowing clinicians to achieve accurate marginal detail and consistent preparation depths. It is equally appropriate for filling treatment procedures where refined surface finishing and contour refinement are required.

- Filling Treatment
Why Choose the Cool Diamant Series?
Busch & Co. GmbH has a long-standing reputation for manufacturing high-quality rotary instruments in Germany. The Cool Diamant line is engineered to minimize heat generation during cutting, which helps protect both the tooth structure and the pulp during extended procedures. The cool diamant fine grit diamond dental bur delivers consistent cutting efficiency while maintaining the smooth finish expected from a fine grit instrument.
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. The 1.6 mm head is a general-purpose size for routine crown and cavity preparation. Fine grit is a finishing grit: it smooths walls and margins after preparation rather than removing bulk.
