Summary

The objective of this observational study is to evaluate the primary stability of dental implants and the relationship between insertion torque and patients' pain levels assessed with the visual analogue scale (VAS)

Detailed description

Primary implant stability plays a key role in providing osseointegration. Higher insertion torque indicates higher primary stability. However, the effect of increased insertion torque on patient pain levels has not been clearly demonstrated. Several methods for measuring primary stability have been defined so far. Insertion torque, periotest measurements, and resonance frequency analysis are mostly preferred due to their ease of use and non-invasiveness. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the relationship between insertion torque and patients' pain levels assessed with the visual analogue scale (VAS) and to assess the relationship between insertion torque, periotest measurements, and resonance frequency analysis.

Conditions

• Dental Implantation

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Dental Implantation with high torque	Fifteen patients with bilateral single-tooth loss in the posterior mandible will be included in the study. One implant was randomly placed with high insertion torque in each patient. A total of 15 implants will be placed, and insertion torque values will be recorded.
PROCEDURE	Dental Implantation with low torque	Fifteen patients with bilateral single-tooth loss in the posterior mandible will be included in the study. One implant was randomly placed with low insertion torque in each patient. A total of 15 implants will be placed, and insertion torque values will be recorded.
