I had two implants and the dentist used a torque wrench set to 15. Then I got two implants (molar) and this dentist torqued the screw holding the crown to 25. What's correct and why the difference?
Different implant systems and screws are torqued to different values. Often molar implants are torqued to higher values than pre-molar or anterior teeth, but this is entirely up to the manufacturer's instructions. The correct values are also sometimes indicated on the packet that the screw comes in.
