Results of this in vitro study could demonstrate a strong association between the highest temperature increase and the passive withdrawing time period in both investigated drill materials. Considering these findings and the resulting thermal bone damage due to the whole surgical procedure, high overall temperatures in combination with a prolonged heat exposure time may impact the future osseointegration process.
