    Dentists apply optimal torque of 15.55 ounce-inches and maximum torque of 35.29 ounce-inches to dental posts. Female dentists exhibited significantly lower maximum torque capacity in this study.

    Area of Science:

    • Dental materials science
    • Biomechanics in dentistry

    Background:

    • Understanding the forces applied during dental post placement is crucial for successful restoration.
    • Torque application is a key factor influencing post retention and potential root damage.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine the optimal and maximum torque values dentists can apply to dental posts.
    • To investigate potential differences in torque application between male and female dentists.

    Main Methods:

    • Thirty-one dentists participated in the study.
    • Torque measurements were recorded during the insertion of dental posts.
    • Statistical analysis was performed to compare torque values and identify gender-based differences.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • The mean optimal torque applied was 15.55 ounce-inches.
    • The mean maximum torque applied was 35.29 ounce-inches.
    • Female dentists demonstrated a statistically significant lower mean maximum torque (24.5 ounce-inches difference).

    Conclusions:

    • The study establishes normative torque values for dental post placement.
    • Dentists' torque application capabilities vary, with female dentists showing lower maximum capacity.
    • These findings may inform clinical guidelines for post insertion and patient safety.
