The success of these surgeries depends on many factors and the bone damage degree generated during the drilling. The cutting effort achieved during the drilling process is one of the problems and is directly related with the drilling parameters. It is essential to understand and to improve the cutting conditions to minimize the bone damage.engComposite materialDrill bitconference poster
