Primary Application
The diamond taper (cone) round dental bur medium grit is specifically indicated for crown preparation, where precise axial wall definition and smooth marginal finishing are critical to achieving optimal restorative outcomes. Its medium grit formulation balances cutting speed with surface control, supporting efficient tooth reduction while preserving surrounding tissue integrity.
Other Uses
The No. 850 012 is not a dedicated interproximal reduction (IPR) bur. Some clinicians use a slim, medium-grit diamond of this kind to open a tight contact in IPR before refining with a fine-grit bur such as the Busch No. 8392 016 needle bur and abrasive strips. This page does not set IPR parameters: the amount of enamel to remove comes from the treatment plan set by the orthodontist or aligner company, and technique is the clinician's decision. Read the IPR guide for burs, strips and chairside instruments in aligner cases.
Why Choose a German-Engineered Diamond Bur?
Busch & Co. GmbH has a long-standing reputation for manufacturing high-quality dental instruments in Germany. The diamond taper (cone) round dental bur medium grit reflects this heritage, offering clinicians a dependable instrument with consistent diamond particle distribution and robust shank construction suitable for standard FG handpieces.
Podiatry Use
In Busch's podiatry catalogue the 850 taper (cone) round runs from 1.2 to 2.3 mm, and the 850 012 is the smallest. It carries medium-grit diamond for callus and nail smoothing, suited to finer areas where a larger head is too broad. See podiatry burs for nail-edge and fine work and diamond podiatry burs.
