Comparison of the physical, thermal, and biological effects on implant bone site when using either zirconia or stainless-steel drill for implant bone site preparation

CONCLUSION: The thermal effect study is more favorable for using the zirconia drill than the stainless-steel drill for bone preparation. Cytological analysis indicate that the zirconia drill produces a similar impact on bone cells activity as the stainless-steel drill. Therefore, we conclude that the zirconia drills offer a good cutting effect similar to currently available stainless-steel drills in various aspects.PMID:38246800 | DOI:10.1016/j.jfma.2024.01.011
