Clinical effect of short implants in posterior maxilla with insufficient bone mass

Abstract

Abstract: PURPOSE: To observe the clinical effect of short implants in posterior maxilla with insufficient bone mass .METHODS: Thirty-one patients restored with 34 short implants in posterior maxilla region were followed up for 5 years. The final restorative outcomes were evaluated. RESULTS: The clinical measurement and patients' questionnaire showed satisfactory outcomes when the implants were loaded after restoration. According to Albreksson's implant success criteria, 5-year cumulative success rate was 100%, one patient was lost to follow-up, and 30 patients were satisfied with the results of implant prosthesis. CONCLUSIONS: Short implant can be used as one of the methods to solve insufficient posterior maxilla bone mass. It is easy to operate by doctor and accepted by patients, and has exact effectiveness.
