Design modification of surgical drill bit for final osteotomy site preparation towards improved bone-implant contact.

ABSTRACT: Implant stability significantly impacts accelerated osseointegration, leading to faster patient recovery. Both primary and secondary stability necessitates superior bone-implant contact influenced by the surgical tool required to prepare the final osteotomy site. Besides, excessive shearing and frictional forces generate heat causing local tissue necrosis. Hence, surgical procedure necessitates proper irrigation with water to minimize heat generation. Notably, the water irrigation system removes bone chips and osseous coagulums, which may help accelerate osseointegration and improve bone-implant contact. The inferior bone-implant contact and thermal necrosis at the osteotomy site are primarily responsible for poor osseointegration and eventual failure. Therefore, optimizing tool geometry i
