Effect of internal irrigation on frictional heat generated from bone drilling.
Frictional heat generated during bone drilling was reduced by internal irrigation compared with external or no irrigation. This was based on an in vitro study using two bur designs at low rotational speeds to prepare experimental cavities to varying depths.
