For me, who is dealing with an injury history (as well as other people), it sure does. I stop at chin level. I would go low enough to at least where your arms are past parallel to the ground, but if you experience pain going any further then don't. Honestly I don't find that extra bit of ROM going to upper chest is really worth it. Just whatever you do, don't be one of those guys who piles on the weight and then only lowers to the top of his head or something lame like that,

i have a bad shoulder so i stop just past 90 degrees and i keep my elbows out front with a pretty narrow grip, works the triceps alot that way but i find its easier on the shoulders
biggest thing though i would say is getting someone to lift off the bar for you, that part absolutely destroys my bad shoulder if i do it alone
if your shoulders are fine though i wouldnt worry too much about this stuff though
just make sure your form is good, to do some rc work sometimes and keep up your shoulder mobility/flexibility
