Table 1.

Comparison of the mean maximum temperature during the entire drilling (MT) and perforation time (PT) time between groups 1 (conventional orthopedic cylindrical drill) and 2 (experimental conical drill)

Group 1 (conventional orthopedic cylindrical drill) (n = 25) Group 2 (experimental conical drill) (n = 25) P-value*
Mean maximum temperature during the entire drilling (MT) (°C) 108.82 (± 9.22) 111.98 (± 4.94) 0.14
Mean perforation time (PT) (s) 6.74 (± 0.72) 7.28 (± 0.73) 0.011
