The results indicate that none of the three experimented parameters generated heat above the critical temperature for bone necrosis (47°C). Thus, a high drilling speed with high hand pressure and continuous irrigation with copious amounts of cooled saline may be the ideal combination for implant osteotomy site preparation. Key words:Heat generation, dental implant drills, drilling speed, drilling pressure, irrigation, infrared thermography, thermal necrosis, osteotomy preparation.
