Table 2 Placement and removal torque values in terms of placement sites

From: Long-term evaluation of factors affecting removal torque of microimplants

  1. Independent t-test was performed for comparison between the maxilla and mandible or the anterior and posterior teeth areas in the maxilla. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) with the post hoc Tukey's test was performed for comparison of placement torque between anterior, posterior teeth, and retromolar areas in the mandible. Welch’s ANOVA test and Dunnett T3 multiple comparison test were performed for comparison of removal torque between anterior, posterior teeth, and retromolar areas in the mandible
  2. *Significant difference at p < 0.001 between the maxilla and mandible
  3. Significant difference at p < 0.05 between the anterior and posterior teeth areas
  4. §Significant difference at p < 0.001 between the anterior and posterior teeth areas or between the anterior teeth and retromolar areas
