About

The aim of this study was to evaluate clinically and radiographically the splinted short implants' and single short implants' stability and bone condition before and after loading, in atrophic posterior mandibular alveolar ridges.

Full description

A prospective study was conducted on 16 Patients with missing posterior molars. Group A: 8 patients had 2 short implants placed in atrophic posterior mandibular alveolar ridge. Group B: 8 patients had a single short implant placed in atrophic posterior mandibular alveolar ridge.

Enrollment: 16 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 30 to 60 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• Missing Posterior teeth, indicated for short implant placement.
• Residual alveolar ridge at 6-8 mm height and at least 7mm width.
• Healthy band of keratinized attached mucosa.
• Good Oral hygiene.
• Medically fit patient, free from relevant diseases.

Exclusion criteria

• Medically compromised patients.
• Imunnocompromised patients
• Patients with Para-functional habits.
• Smokers
• Poor Oral hygiene.
• Patient refuse to undergo the surgery.

16 participants in 2 patient groups

Two short implants

Experimental group

Description:

DENTIUM superline implant fixture is characterized by sandblasted with large grits and acid etched surface treatment (S.L.A). SLA surface allows good bone-implant contact with good clinical performance, maintaining crestal bone margin. Short Implants of 7.0 mm length and 4.5 mm diameter are to be used. The Short Implants are characterized by 1.5mm supra-bony smooth collar, and 5.5mm infra-bony surface treated double threaded titanium.

Treatment:

Other: Double short implant

Single short implant
