The test records parameters including torque and angle of rotation. These measurements are used to determine key mechanical properties such as torsional yield strength and maximum torque. The test specimen is also examined for deformation or damage after loading.
Maximum torque refers to the highest torsional load reached during testing. This value indicates the maximum torque the tested connection was able to withstand under the defined test conditions.
The torsional load is increased gradually and in a controlled manner. During the test, the testing machine records the relevant measurement data, allowing the behavior of the connection to be tracked throughout the entire test.
This depends on the specific testing requirements, the test plan and the objectives of the investigation. Innoproof coordinates the required test setup and number of specimens individually with each customer.
Yes. The test can also be used in the development and optimization of new implant connections. The resulting measurement data can be used, for example, to compare different designs, materials or design variants.
After loading, the test specimen is examined and the findings are documented. This may include identifying deformations, damage or failure of the connection. The results are recorded in the test report together with the measurement data.
The test focuses on the mechanical strength of the connection between the implant body and the connecting component under torsional loading. It should therefore not be considered a comprehensive assessment of all properties of a complete implant system.
Yes. Standardized testing conditions make it possible to evaluate different implant connections, designs or materials under comparable conditions. The results therefore provide an objective basis for technical comparisons.
ISO/TS 13498 evaluates the torsional strength of an implant connection, whereas ISO 14801 describes a dynamic fatigue test. Innoproof offers both tests. The appropriate test depends on the specific technical question being investigated.
Yes. The measurement data and relevant test results recorded during testing are evaluated and documented in a traceable manner. The test report summarizes the key findings of the investigation performed.
