                    Abstract: 
                                    The calculation of manual tightening torque applied by clinicians plays a critical role in achieving optimal preload for dental implants. However, there is a research gap in understanding the specific calculus involved in this process. This study aims to address this gap by analyzing the bending and torsional moments during manual tightening torque application by physicians of various specialties and genders. Additionally, the rates of early complications associated with clinician-calculated preload will be evaluated. The findings of this study will contribute to enhancing the understanding of clinician-controlled preload and guide future practices for successful dental implant outcomes.
