The size of dental implants is a key success factor for appropriate osseointegration.
Using shorter implants allows the possibility of avoiding complex surgical procedures
and reduces the morbidity of treatment. Shorter implants also enable implant-prosthetic
rehabilitation after maxillofacial reconstructions where only limited bone is available.
In this study, the success rates of short implants were examined and compared to those
of standard-sized implants.
