Correlation between dental implant insertion torque and mandibular alveolar bone density in osteopenic and osteoporotic subjects
Purpose: Osteoporotic patients require particular attention during implant placement, and insertion torque (IT) has been established as a simple and noninvasive method to assess local bone quality and primary implant stability. This study aimed to test the hypothesis that IT was not significantly co...
