Letter to the Editor Re: Heat generation and drill wear during dental implant site preparation: systematic review We thank you for your interest in our study as well as your valuable comments. You are of course right that “zirconium coated with steel” does not make sense and, furthermore, that the material of the drills used by Harder et al.1 was zirconium oxide and not zirconium. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
Conflict of interest We have no conflicts of interest.
