Abstract
Clinical choice of the most appropriate implant therapy modality should be based on assessment of the residual alveolar bone height, width and sinus morphology with a Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) scan, current scientific evidence, surgical skills and experience of the surgeon and the patient’s preferences. Following a good surgical protocol and excellent oral hygiene maintenance program are fundamental elements in achieving a successful and predictable outcome. The available evidence on short dental implants in early research was not significant comparing with the longer dental implants; the surface treatment is improving now than before for this reason. The use of short implants allows treatment of patients who are unable to undergo complex surgical techniques for medical, anatomic or financial reasons. By reducing the need for complex surgeries short implants reduce morbidity, cost and treatment time. Recently short implants offer a less invasive treatment alternative in resorbed ridge cases.
