Abstract

In this systematic review, we analyzed whether recommended maximum insertion torque values of 5 to 10 Ncm were associated with higher success rates of orthodontic mini-implants compared with mini-implants inserted with maximum insertion torque values beyond this range. Objective assessments of stability, variables that influence maximum insertion torque values, and adverse effect of interventions were also assessed in the studies selected for our PICO (patient problem or population, intervention, comparison, and outcomes) question.
