Resumo
Aim: The aim of this nonrandomized controlled preliminary clinical trial was to compare treatment using short and conventional
implants in the posterior region of the mandible after prosthesis
installation by means of clinical, resonance frequency, and
radiographic analyses.
Materials and methods: A total of 10 patients with 40 dental
implants already installed were included in this study. Four
implants were installed for each subject, in which the length of
the implants (short and conventional) was distributed according
to the reminiscent alveolar bone in the left and right side of the
mandible. All implants received splinted prosthesis after the
osseointegration period. Analyses were performed immediately
after prosthesis installation (T1), and 3 (T2) and 6 months (T3)
after prosthesis placement.
Results: The 6-month survival and success rates were 100%
for the short and conventional implants. Probing depths (PDs)
after 6 months did not show statistical differences between short
and conventional implants. All groups showed mean implant
stability quotient (ISQ) values above 60 in all periods evaluated, demonstrating great implant stability, and no differences were
found between groups at T3. Radiographic measurements
showed an increased bone loss for conventional implants
compared with short implants in all the three periods evaluated.
Conclusion: Our findings suggest that treatment of resorbed
posterior regions in the mandible with shorter dental implants
is as reliable as treatment with conventional implants after
6 months of splinted prosthesis installation.
Clinical significance: Short implants might be considered
a predictable treatment alternative to bone augmentation or
extensive surgical techniques in regions of restricted vertical
bone height in the posterior region of the mandible
