Short implants are implants that are shorter (6-8mm) than standard implants (10-16mm). In cases where bone height is insufficient, it can be performed without the need for additional surgical procedures such as sinus lifting or bone grafting. It is especially preferred in the lower jaw back area and upper jaw cheek area.

It is suitable for patients whose bone height is below 8-10mm but whose bone quality is good. Careful evaluation should be made in patients with advanced osteoporosis and systemic disorders such as diabetes and osteoporosis. Detailed measurement with 3D tomography is essential for a definitive decision.

Does not require additional surgical procedures (sinus lifting, bone grafting)

Treatment time is shortened (average 2-3 months)

Surgical morbidity is reduced

Cost decreases

The healing process is more comfortable

It is less invasive

In patients with poor bone quality, the success rate may be slightly lower than standard implants. In addition, the risk of long-term mechanical problems in the posterior regions where chewing forces are high is theoretically higher than standard implants. However, current implant surface technologies have minimized this risk.
