Figure Lengend Snippet: Bar graph showing maximum temperatures reached when drilling into bone to a depth of 10 mm with the 4.0 mm diameter drill bit used in a one-drill protocol compared to the Straumann BLT drill bits used in series. The temperature range of bone cell injury and cell death are marked on the graph. The left axis shows drilling depth (mm), while the top axis shows the maximum temperature reached (°C) at that depth. The right axis shows the duration (s) when temperatures exceeded 50 °C.
Article Snippet: The heat generated when preparing an implant bed with Straumann Bone Level Tapered (BLT) drill bits (Straumann, Basel, Switzerland) or with the ø 4.0 mm new-generation drill bit (Blitz GmbH, Munich, Germany) were assessed using the experimental protocol outlined by Rugova and Abboud (2024) [ ]. lists the two drilling groups tested and their corresponding spindle speeds.
