Description
Summary:Objective To compare patient satisfaction during surgery, postoperative pain and inflammation and quality of life between high‐speed drilling with irrigation and low‐speed drilling without irrigation for implant bed preparation. Materials and Methods Sixty‐six posterior single edentulous patients were included in a randomized controlled clinical trial. Implant beds were created using high‐speed drilling with irrigation (control group) or low‐speed drilling without irrigation (test group). Patient satisfaction during surgery (in relation to drilling‐time perception, vibration, pressure, noise, comfort, and drowning sensation) and postoperative pain and inflammation were evaluated using a 100‐mm visual analogue scale (VAS)‐based questionnaire. Quality of life was analyzed with a Likert scale (in relation to mouth opening, chewing, speaking, sleeping, daily routine, and job). The follow‐up period was 7 days. Results Patient satisfaction in relation to drilling‐time perception, vibration, pressure, and noise did not show statistically significant differences (p > .05). The highest scores of drowning sensation (p
