Abstract:

In oral implantology, we are used to place implant by enlarging the hole of implant placement, using drills of increasing diameters, with the working length. Most companies use an average of 3 drills to prepare the place for the implant. Most companies also advise to drill at low speed to avoid the risk of heating the bone. A French company recently decided to create an implant that is positioned using a single drill and a high speed drilling between 1500 to 2000 rpm. A clinical and follow-up of 2 years study on CIDRR showed a success rate of 98%. A comparative study published in 2014 in CIDRR, with Strauman and Nobel Implants Brands showed that the heating of the bone with one drill at 1500 rpm speed, was very close to the results of the other brands. Those studies show that drilling with a single bur to place an implant can be demonstrated as a safe procedure in oral implant surgery.
