Effect of Simplifying Drilling Technique on Heat Generation During Osteotomy Preparation for Dental Implant

Abstract

The simplified drilling technique produced similar amount of heat comparable to the conventional technique that proved the initial hypothesis.

The Assessment of the Maximum Heat Production and Cooling Effectiveness of Three Different Drill Types (Conical vs. Cylindrical vs. Horizontal) during Implant Bed Preparation—An In Vitro Study

“…There are also numerous articles regarding the importance and differences between simplified and conventional drilling techniques in regards to their numbers, which show that the outcome on the bone is the same [10]. Jimbo et al [33] evaluated the combined effect of drilling sequence and implant diameter.…”

“…The authors concluded that the simplified procedure provides biological outcomes comparable to those achieved following the conventional one. El-Kholey et al [10] evaluated 120 implant site preparations with three different diameters following simplified and conventional drilling procedures and measured the bone temperature using K-type thermocouple and a sensitive thermometer before and after each drill was used. They concluded that there was no significant difference in temperature increase when implants were prepared by either of methods.…”

“…El-Kholey et al [10] suggested that the number of drills used during implant bed preparation has no significant influence on the bone temperature increase following either conventional or simplified drilling procedure. What is more, the drilling technique (continuous versus intermittent) did not cause rise in the temperature and subsequent bone overheating (i.e., above 47 • C) [11].…”

Heat Development During Medical Drilling: Influencing Factors and Examination Methods – Overview and First Results

“…Drill diameter: The study situation is not clear. Some studies describe higher temperatures with increasing diameter, while other studies have shown higher temperatures when small diameters are used (3,11,(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26). B) Splinters grooves/Splinter surfaces: The size, number and angle of the chip flutes can have an influence on the temperature development.…”

Evaluation of Thermal Variations of Irrigation on the Osseointegration of Dental Implants: An In vivo Study in Rabbit Models.

“…8,9 To overcome the unwanted effects of thermal trauma many in-vitro and in-vivo studies evaluated the potentialindicator of thermal trauma. 4,[10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] They concluded multiple factors assosicated with the condition e.g: drill speed 10,11 , drill material 12 , drilling technique 13 , drill diameter 14 , drill configuration 4 , bone type 15 , irrigation method 16,[17][18][19][20] , irrigation solution volume 21,22 , and surgical technique. 23 Irrigation solution tempature is also one of the crucial indicator which effect thermal trauma.…”
