title: Effects of water and saline irrigation during bone cutting on bone healing.
abstract: The healing of standardized bony defects prepared in the mandibles of 24 vervet monkeys with a rotating bur uncooled, or cooled with saline or water, was studied. The experiment showed no difference in healing after 56 days irrespective of the coolant used or whether the bone was cut with or without a cooling agent.
