The hypothesis was that drill usage and sterilization cycles would not affect drilling time or flexural strength. Sixty zirconia twist drills from Z-Systems were used to drill in the angulus mandibulae region of fresh porcine jaws. The drills were divided into four groups based on the cycle count, and the drilling time was measured. Bending strength tests were conducted using a universal testing machine, and statistical analysis was performed using ANOVA tests. The results showed that drilling times followed a normal distribution, and significant differences were observed in drilling times between group 1 and the other groups for the pilot drill. However, no significant differences were found for \u00f83.75 mm and \u00f84.25 mm drills, and drilling times also varied significantly among different drill diameters, regardless of the cycle count. Flexural strength did not significantly differ among drill diameters or sterilization cycles. Overall, using and sterilizing zirconia implant drills had no significant impact on drilling time or flexural strength. Nevertheless, drilling times did vary depending on the diameter of the drill. These findings provide valuable insights into the performance and durability of zirconia implant drills, contributing to the optimization of dental implant procedures.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ma16155271","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,28]],"date-time":"2023-07-28T02:08:00Z","timestamp":1690510080000},"page":"5271","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Influence of Multiple Used Implant Drills on Their Cutting Performance and Fracture Resistance"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3541-5404","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vasilios","family":"Alevizakos","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Center for Digital Technologies in Dentistry and CAD\/CAM, Danube Private University, Steiner Landstrasse 124, 3500 Krems an der Donau, Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9550-795X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Richard","family":"Mosch","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Center for Digital Technologies in Dentistry and CAD\/CAM, Danube Private University, Steiner Landstrasse 124, 3500 Krems an der Donau, Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6272-7326","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Constantin","family":"von See","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Center for Digital Technologies in Dentistry and CAD\/CAM, Danube Private University, Steiner Landstrasse 124, 3500 Krems an der Donau, Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"133","DOI":"10.1111\/cid.13140","article-title":"Changes in Implant Stability Using Different Site Preparation Techniques: Osseodensification Drills Versus Piezoelectric Surgery.
