Table 1: Torque peak mean values (N.cm) and standard deviation from screws placement and removal after static and dynamic loads.
Torque | Control | Static | Dynamic |
Placement | 13.02 (1.67) | 11.51 (2.11) | 10.18 (1.17) |
Removal | 12.82 (1.75) | 11.37 (4.02) | 4.2 (2.8) |
ANOVA with Tukey´s multiple comparisons were applied at p = 0.05. Statistical difference was seen in paired comparisons after dynamic load at p = 0.0026. No differences in placement torque peak values were seen between static (p = 0.2165) and control group; and dynamic (p = 0.2337) with control group and between placement and removal torque values from control groups (p = 0.8581).
