Effect of different irrigation rates on diamond burr tip temperatures.

Irrigation Rate	Diamond Burr Tip Temperature, °C
Irrigation Rate	Mean ± SD	Range	P Value
0 cc/min	90.7 ± 33.0	51–177
0.5 cc/min	30.9 ± 4.8	24.9–38.9	<0.0001^{^a}
1 cc/min	31.5 ± 2.9	28.8–37.4
2 cc/min	32.1 ± 2.0	27.5–34.3
Comparison of Temperatures
0 vs 0.5 cc/min			<0.0001^{^b}
0.5 vs 1 cc/min			0.682^{^b}
1 vs 2 cc/min			0.268^{^b}
