Insertion torque versus mechanical resistance of mini- implants inserted in different cortical thickness

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to measure insertion torque, tip mechanical resistance to fracture and transmucosal neck of mini-implants (MI) (Conexão Sistemas de PróteseT), as well as to analyze surface morphology. METHODS: Mechanical tests were carried out to measure the insertion torque of MIs in di...
