Among other reasons, dental implants often fail due to bone loss. Because of reduced length, short implants should be more susceptible to bone loss, especially
Crestal cortical bone at the implant neck is the key structural element of the jaw, which withstands the functional loading. Bone loss progression results in ov
Bone loss is the most essential cause of dental implant failure. Comparing to the conventional implants, short implants may fail more rapidly because of their r
Short implants are indispensable in posterior maxilla with insufficient bone height. Implant design, bone quality and degree of bone loss predetermine safe func
Poor bone quality and anatomic restrictions significantly influence implant success in posterior maxilla. Short implants were proposed as a reasonable choice. I
