    Clinical Protocols & Common Mistakes<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    Retorque Protocol: Torque \u2192 wait 5\u201310 minutes \u2192 retorque to compensate for settling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Wrong driver selection (most common issue)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Under-torquing leading to loosening<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Skipping retorque step<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Not confirming implant system before restoration
