Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the durability of attachment screws by measuring how many torque and reverse torque cycles they can endure before breaking, recording torque values over 10 cycles of tightening and loosening.
- The research involved testing 30 implants from three different brands, where screws were torqued to specific values, then reverse torqued after 24 hours for 10 days, with additional testing on used vs. new screws to observe failure points.
- Results showed that 96.6% of the screws had reduced reverse torque values after 10 cycles, but statistical analysis indicated no significant differences in failure rates between the groups tested.
