It is currently unclear if a low insertion torque (IT) should prompt clinician to submerge the dental implant at time of placement.This study aimed analyze failure rates and marginal bone loss (MBL) as function IT surgical approach.A total 197 patients who had received 295 Mozo Grau (MG) implants were included in this study. The healing submerged or nonsubmerged was evaluated regular (≥20-25 Ncm) (<20-25 cases. Implant MBL before prosthesis placement 6 12 months after functional loading with generalized estimating equations.The overall 12-month rate 4.8% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.7%-8.2%). When successful months, placed nonsubmerging same other approaches (mean difference = -0.02 mm; 95% CI -0.05 0.02). Low combined associated 30-fold increased odds for CI: 3.8-236.6).low high rate.
