DIN EN ISO 11953 describes a test concerning torque wrenches used for placing dental implants. The goal is to check the repeatability of the torque display or the triggering of the torque wrench. The working principle of the torque wrench can be based on various mechanisms, such as a bending beam with a scale display or a ratchet that signals reaching the desired torque by clicking.

In clinical practice, the key question for practitioners is how precise the torque values remain after a certain number of uses. With our torque testing setup combined with endurance tests and reprocessing equipment, we simulate these applications in an accelerated timeframe.
