Summary

This study aims to evaluate the clinical and radiological outcomes of short implants in the rehabilitation of single-tooth edentulism in the posterior maxilla. By assessing these outcomes, the research seeks to determine the effectiveness and long-term viability of short implants as a minimally invasive solution, particularly in cases where bone height is limited.

Detailed description

The present municentric retrospective study was conducted following the STROBE statement recommendations for observational studies and in compliance to the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki on clinical research involving human subjects.The study aims to evaluate short implants placed over the past 15 years by three experienced clinicians, assessing their survival and clinical success. Specifically, the study collects clinical data such as probing depth, the presence or absence of peri-implantitis, and radiological findings.

Conditions

• Edentulism
• Bone Atrophy, Alveolar
• Sinus Pneumatization
