Aim: This study proposes to investigate the influence of various surgical guide designs on the generation temperature in the cortical and cancellous regions of the osteotomy site. The working hypothesis was that open guides are more efficacious in controlling excessive heat generation in cortical and cancellous areas. Materials and Methods: Implant osteotomy was performed on specimens simulating D3 bone density using surgical guides produced with three different designs: an open guide, a guide with an external cooling channel, and a closed guide. Temperature increases occurring in the cortical layer from a depth of 2 mm and in the cancellous layer from a depth of 10 mm were measured with type K thermocouples. Results: Temperature averages recorded from a depth of 2 mm during osteotomy show statistically significant differences between groups (p =.003). The temperature rise in the group using a closed surgical guide was significantly higher than in the groups using an open surgical guide and a surgical guide with an external cooling channel on the cortical layer, while the temperature increase did not show any significant difference in both cortical and cancellous layers between the open guide and guide with external cooling channel. Temperature averages recorded from a depth of 10 mm do not show statistically significant differences between groups (p =.054). Conclusion: Using open surgical guides or surgical guides with external cooling channels among the guided surgical systems is a more reliable way to keep the thermal increase under control.
