In dentistry, torque is commonly discussed when tightening screws (such as dental implants) and when using rotary instruments. It is also used in orthodontics to describe controlled tooth tipping (root position) using wires and brackets. Clinicians use torque to aim for consistent, repeatable force while reducing damage to teeth, restorations, or components."}
