A drill bit configured to simultaneously direct debris toward a drill bit tip and compress the debris into a sidewall of a hole during rotation in a single direction to strengthen the hole to receive an implant. The drill bit may comprise an osteotome, the hole may comprise an osteotomy, and the implant may be a dental implant. In an example, due to the right-hand (clockwise) rotation of the drill bit, a helical flute exhibits an apparent counterclockwise movement relative to a stationary observer, commonly referred to as apparent flute motion. The drill bit is configured to simultaneously direct the created debris longitudinally toward the tip while the first land area compresses the debris laterally outward from the drill bit into a side wall of a drill hole during rotation of the drill bit in a single direction.
A drill bit, comprising:
A method of using a drill bit comprising a body, a helical flute extending along a length of the body to a tip, a first land area extending along the length to the body and forming the largest diameter of the body, and a second land area extending adjacent the first land area and the tip, where upon rotation of the drill bit in a single direction the second land area is configured to direct created debris toward the first land area while the first land area is configured to compress the debris laterally outward into a side wall of a drill hole, the method comprising:
