Why is it important?
The study showed similar early failure rate and implant stability of short and longer implants when placed in moderate resorbed posterior maxilla (6mm<RBH<10mm). In addtion, superior results of patienti-centered outcomes were found in short implant group.
Perspectives
I think the present clinical trial may help to confirm the predictablility of short-6-mm implants in posterior maxilla.
