Abstract
The excessive temperature fluctuations during dental implant site preparation may affect the process of bone-implant osseointegration. In the presented studies, we aimed to assess the quality of cooling during the use of 3 different dental implant systems (BEGO®, NEO BIOTECH®, and BIOMET 3i®). The swine rib was chosen as a study model. The preparation of dental implant site was performed with the use of 3 different speeds of rotation (800, 1,200, and 1,500 rpm) and three types of cooling: with saline solution at room temperature, with saline solution cooled down to 3°C, and without cooling. A statistically significant difference in temperature fluctuations was observed between BEGO and NEO BIOTECH dental systems when cooling with saline solution at 3°C was used (22.3°C versus 21.8°C). In case of all three evaluated dental implant systems, the highest temperature fluctuations occurred when pilot drills were used for implant site preparation. The critical temperature, defined in the available literature, was exceeded only in case of pilot drills (of all 3 systems) used at rotation speed of 1,500 rpm without cooling.
Highlights
Dental implants-related topics are an important matter of contemporary human and veterinary dentistry
The above-mentioned studies aimed at the assessment of the efficacy of cooling used in three different dental implant systems depending on different drill diameters and rotation speeds
It was proven that a wide range of different factors impact the heat emitted during dental implant site preparation
Summary
Dental implants-related topics are an important matter of contemporary human and veterinary dentistry. During placement of dental implants into the bones of the facial skeleton, different cooling systems are used [1,2,3]. They provide maintenance of an appropriate temperature and prevent tissue overheating during an exothermic dental implant insertion procedure [3,4,5]. Thermographic camera showed the temperature changes in the external surface of bone and visible part of the drilling tool. Infrared thermography is a method that is commonly used in experimental studies to assess thermal changes in tissues and organs of animals. The paper aimed at determining which of the dental implant site
