Abstract
As the popularity of implant treatment using a variety of problems have been reported. The proper torque values recommended by the manufacturer and the actual tightening force applied to the observed differences. Period for each product used in this study using different torque controllers accuracy for each of the comparisons, were analyzed. Error rate varies by the manufacturer, but all the products used in the reference period for increasing the error rate increased. Repeat the initial tightening, but the reference, showed a value close to the reference value for the width of change was larger. However, increasing the number of repeated tightening of the reference value for the error rate increased, but has reduced the width of the observed changes.
