Background Thermographic‐infrared changes during osteotomy surgery depend on the type of motor used, size, and system of the dental implant. This study undertakes the evaluation of these thermal variations for successful optimization of dependent surgical procedures while aiming toward reduced thermal damage to the bone tissue. Methods An in vitro comparative study was conducted to assess the thermographic‐infrared changes during surgical osteotomy influenced by the motor type, diameter, and dental implant system. The Checklist for Reporting in vitro Studies (CRIS) guidelines were adopted to report the findings. Bones with fractures, structural damage, or anomalies were omitted. The bones were stored at −20°C, then thawed, cleaned, disinfected, and calibrated. The implant motors (Coxo, W thus, the performance in dental implant surgeries can be improved. Therein, we have patient safety and longevity of dental implants.
