A torque test in dental implants is like a special checkup for teeth that aren’t real. It helps the dentist ensure the tooth goes in the right way and doesn’t fail or fall out later. Think of a torque test as a safety check for your new tooth.

Dental implant torque testing is a crucial step in the dental implant process that should not be overlooked. This test measures the amount of force needed to secure a dental implant into the jawbone, ensuring that it is stable and can support the weight of a prosthetic tooth.

Simply put, a torque test is a measure of rotational force or torque that is applied to the implant during placement to determine its stability.

A torque test measures the amount of force it takes to turn an object (in this case, the dental implant). For dental implants, this test determines how much force can be applied before the implant becomes loose or dislodged.

Torque measures the rotational friction between the implant and the bone combined with the force required to cut the bone if that is the case, and the pressure force from the surrounding bone.
