Does drill speed cause thermal necrosis during implant placement?
It’s a common concern in dentistry: if you drill too fast, you’ll overheat the bone and compromise healing. But is that actually happening in real-world implant surgery? In this video, Dr. Robert Stanley breaks down the science (and the misconceptions) behind thermal necrosis. He explains why the idea often doesn’t match clinical reality—especially when using fully guided implant systems.
You’ll learn:
- What thermal necrosis actually is
- Why drill speed alone isn’t the problem
- How guided surgery dramatically reduces heat exposure time
- What really matters when it comes to protecting bone during implant placement
Dr. Stanley also shares his clinical experience—including zero reported cases of thermal necrosis—and why efficiency and precision may be safer than you think.
If you’ve ever worried about drill speed during implant placement, this is a must-watch.
