From: Insertion torque recordings for the diagnosis of contact between orthodontic mini-implants and dental roots: a systematic review

  1. Characteristics of study or subgroup
  2. McEwan (a) [32]: self-drilling insertion with 3 M implants with implant-root contact versus without implant-root contact
  3. McEwan (b) [32]: self-drilling insertion with Tomas implants with implant-root contact versus without implant-root contact
  4. Wilmes et al. (a) [33]: pre-drilling insertion with implant-root contact versus without implant-root contact
  5. Wilmes et al. (b) [33]: pre-drilling insertion with implant-root penetration versus without implant-root contact
