New aerosol-decreasing dental handpiece functions sufficiently decrease pulp temperature: An in vitro study.

The tested electric handpieces efficiently reduced intrapulpal temperature, with the majority displaying a decreasing trend. A greater decrease in intrapulpal temperature was observed in canines compared to premolars; carbide burs compared to diamond; and with no suction preparations compared to when suction was used.
