The improved osseointegration of implants placed after osteotomy preparation with novel test drills using a shortened drill sequence compared to standard drills and conventional drill protocols might be attributed to more favorable thermal profiles and less mechanical stress exerted on the bone surrounding the implant osteotomy.
