Abstract

Drilling speed is a critical factor in implantology that influences multiple dimensions of surgical and post-surgical success, including bone healing, osseointegration, and the prevention of thermal damage. This article comprehensively examines the relationship between drilling speed and bone physiology, drawing on recent research to provide actionable, evidence-based guidelines for clinicians. By emphasizing the balance between efficiency and tissue preservation, the article underscores key strategies for minimizing thermal damage, optimizing primary stability, and enhancing long-term implant success. These recommendations are designed to support practitioners in achieving superior clinical outcomes while safeguarding bone vitality.
