Abstract:
Heat elicited during the osteotomy for implant placement may have a significant impact on the vitality of surrounding bone and on the healing capacity for osseointegration. This article describes a digital workflow for creating a coolant channel for the direct irrigation of the osteotomy site through an implant surgical guide. This technique can be particularly advantageous when the surgical guide restricts access for direct irrigation of the osteotomy site.
