Marconcini S, et al. - During this trial, the role of varied insertion torque values were comprehensively investigated with regard to the implant success, marginal bone loss and facial soft tissues recession. The findings revealed a greater bone resorption and mucosal recession due to the implants that were placed with higher insertion torque (IT) in the mandible than the ones placed with a regular IT. Furthermore, smaller recession at the facial soft tissue level was noted in sites with a thick buccal bone wall (≥1 mm) after 3 years.
