Methods: Seventy patients with a total of 100 dental implants were allocated into two groups (n = 50 per group): DuoCone implants (DC group) that included 28 implants in the maxilla and 22 in the mandible, and Maestro implants (MAE group) that included 26 in the maxilla and 24 in the mandible. The ITV was measured during the implant placement, and the ISQ values were measured immediately at implant placement (baseline) and after 30 and 45 days. Results: The mean and standard deviations of the ITV were statistically significant (p &lt; 0.0001), 56.4 \u00b1 6.41 Ncm for the DC group and 29.3 \u00b1 9.65 Ncm for the MAE group. In the DC group, the ISQs ranged between 61.1 \u00b1 3.78 and 69.8 \u00b1 3.86, while the MAE group presented similar values compared with the other group, ranging between 61.9 \u00b1 3.92 and 72.1 \u00b1 2.37. Conclusions: The value of implant insertion torque did not influence the ISQ values measured immediately after implant placement. However, the ITV influenced the ISQ values measured in the two initial periods of osseointegration, with implants installed with lower torques presenting higher ISQ values.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/medicina59010168","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,16]],"date-time":"2023-01-16T02:29:55Z","timestamp":1673836195000},"page":"168","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":33,"title":["Randomized Clinical Trial Comparing Insertion Torque and Implant Stability of Two Different Implant Macrogeometries in the Initial Periods of Osseointegration"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"59","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5863-9101","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sergio Alexandre","family":"Gehrke","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Research, Bioface\/PgO\/UCAM, Calle Cuareim 1483, Montevideo 11100, Uruguay"},{"name":"Instituto de Bioingenieria, Universidad Miguel Hern\u00e1ndez, Avda.
