Comparison of torque measurements and clinical handling of various surgical motors.

Purpose: Modern implant dentistry requires the application of torque during various treatment steps. This study investigated seven different surgical motors for the accuracy of the applied torque and their reliability.

Materials And Methods: The following surgical motors were evaluated: Chiropro 980 (Bienair), INTRAsurg 300 and INTRAsurg 500 (KaVo), Osseocare (Nobel Biocare), Surgic XT (NSK), Elcomed SA-200 C (W and H), and Osseo System (XO Dentalcare).
