Clinical outcomes of dental implants placed with varying insertion torques: a 3-year prospective analysis.

Puntos clave

• The aim is to analyze how different levels of insertion torque affect clinical outcomes of dental implants.
• Conducted a 3-year prospective analysis of dental implants
• Measured outcomes related to insertion torque levels
• Assessed marginal bone loss and implant survival rates
• Insertion torque exceeding 100 Ncm correlated with higher marginal bone loss
• Greater interfacial stresses were observed in dense bone with high insertion torque
• Smoking and thin cortical bone in the anterior maxilla contributed to reduced implant survival
