“…One advantage of this study was the standardization of the surgical protocol, in order to avoid the effect of different IT in our results. The IT was always 40 Ncm, following numerous reports in the literature recommending this level of torque to achieve adequate primary stability [ 11 , 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 ]. Likewise, the implant length was always 10 mm, and it is well documented that implants ≥10 mm provide good stability outcomes [ 48 , 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 ] and allow immediate loading with satisfactory results [ 53 , 54 , 55 ].…”
