A Measurement of Torque Values Obtained With Hand‐Held Drivers in a Simulated Clinical Setting

Abstract

Small-diameter, 10 N.cm gold screws can be adequately tightened with manufacturer-supplied instrumentation. Larger screws requiring more than 10 N.cm of torque cannot be tightened manually using currently available hand-held screwdrivers and hand wrenches.
