Abstract

Objectives: In the last decade, several studies have reported that short implants achieve excellent results with a 2-stage technique. According to the literature, short dental implants have often been used for the replacement of teeth. Methods and Materials: A total of 69 short implants (Bone System) were inserted in the posterior mandibular area (41 in males, 28 in females, with a median age of 55 years and an age ranging from 41 to 70 years). Results: Mean loss of bone levels at 1 year was 0.20 0.03 mm, mean changes in bone levels for periods longer than 1 year was 0.07 mm. Survival rate (SRR) of short implants was 98.5%. Conclusion: This study showed no complications in short implants and they could represent predictable solutions for the rehabilitation of atrophic posterior mandible to avoid complementary surgical procedures.
