Insertion torque is a TERRIBLE metric for judging primary stability

By BioHorizons Camlog

Dr Robert Stanley: Insertion torque tells us whether an implant has primary stability or not.

RIGHT?? Actually, nope! Insertion torque only gives us a measurement of resistance to one type of movement. In this video, I’ll break down the engineering behind insertion torque and show you why we’re all getting it wrong when we use it to judge the primary stability of our implant placements.
