The original version of this article contained mistake. The correct Figure legends for Figures 1, 3 and 5 should have been the following:

Fig. 1. HPC (high performance cutting) drill with internally applied cooling system via cooling channels through the tip (σ = 140°; Perschmann)[6]

Fig. 3. Temperature changes during drilling of cemented implants with an internally cooled HPC (high performance cutting) drill (D = 5.5 mm) [6]

Fig. 5. Thermographic scan of drilling procedure [6]
