Reliability and accuracy of the torque applied to osteosynthesis screws by maxillofacial surgeons and residents

Abstract Applying the right torque to osteosynthesis screws is important for undisturbed bone healing. This study aimed to compare test–retest and intra-individual reliabilities of the torque applied to 1.5 mm and 2.0 mm osteosynthesis screws by residents and oral and maxillofacial surgeons (OMF-sur...
