Thermal necrosis has long been the go-to explanation for irrigation during implant osteotomy—but what if we’ve been missing the point? In this episode, Dr. Robert Stanley—The Smile Engineer—challenges conventional wisdom by explaining why overheating may not be the real issue at all.
Instead, Dr. Rob dives into the actual purpose of irrigation: clearing debris from the drill flutes to maintain efficiency and precision during the osteotomy. If you've ever questioned the science behind irrigation or want to improve your implant outcomes, this is a must-watch.
