short implant
✦
These are dental implants that are generally shorter than 8.5 mm in length (down to 4-6 mm in some systems) and are used when the height of the jaw bone is insufficient to place a standard implant (usually 10 mm and above). In cases where there is insufficient bone, plateau design implants or short implants can usually be applied without the need for bone powder or grafts.
The results of each treatment may vary depending on the person, mouth structure and clinical conditions. For detailed information, it is recommended that you evaluate with your physician.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most curious things about this treatment
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.
