Abstract
Various torque generating devices have been developed and employed to apply a proper torque. These devices are usually calibrated by the manufacturer to apply appropriate torque levels for their specific implants and attachments. The purpose of this investigation was to determine and compare the accuracy of the torque controllers. In this study, 4 types of torque controllers were used; torque limiting device(TLD), torque indicating device(TID) and contra angle torque driver(CA), electronic torque controller(ETC). Digital torque gauge was employed to measure the de-torque value. Thirty cycles of tightening and loosening were repeated with each torque controller. All implant torque controllers have shown slight errors and deviations. The contra angle torque driver exhibited the most accurate data. In the limitation of this study, it would be recommended that the implant torque controllers should be checked whether uniformed and precise torque can be generated and a measuring error should be corrected.
