Performance of Short Implants in Partial Restorations: 3-Year Follow-up of Osseotite® Implants

Functional Rehabilitation of Mandibular Continuity Defects Using Autologous Bone and Dental Implants – Prognostic Value of Bone Origin, Radiation Therapy and Implant Dimensions

“…Our results could not identify inferior performance of short implants (length ! 10 mm) or implants of small diameter ( ^ 3.60 mm), which coincides with current literature indicating good performance of smalldimensioned implants for multiple clinical indications [56][57][58] . For our collective, univariate analysis revealed no significant influence of radiation therapy on implant survival.…”

The management of complications following displacement of oral implants in the paranasal sinuses: a multicenter clinical report and proposed treatment protocols

“…In particular, the posterior edentulous maxilla is often a challenge for the oral surgeon because of the lack of bone, due to alveolar ridge resorption and/or maxillary sinus pneumatization. To overcome these problems, the use of short implants or maxillary sinus floor elevation in association with, or followed by, the placement of oral implants are well documented and successful procedures 1,4,5,7,11,21,26 .…”

“…These displaced foreign bodies should be removed as soon as possible to prevent such complications 10,12,13,15,18,19,20,27 . Two main treatment modalities have been proposed for the removal of displaced implants in the sinuses and to treat the associated infectious complications: an intraoral approach with the creation of a bony window in the anterior-lateral wall of the maxillary sinus 2,11,18,19,20 ; and a transnasal approach with functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) 12,13,15,28,27 . FESS allows removal of displaced implants, treatment of paranasal sinusitis and recreation of adequate patency of the natural maxillary ostium with a minimally invasive procedure, but it cannot close oro-antral communications.…”

Función protésica inmediata con técnica All on-4 mandibular: Primer reporte al 1er año de carga inmediata

“…distales de hasta 15mm, los cuales a mayor longitud han demostrado tener una baja taza de éxito (1) . Otra modalidad es la instalación de implantes cortos los cuales podrían ser una alternativa, pero requieren una cantidad mínima de al menos 7mm de altura ósea vertical (2,3) . La cirugía reconstructiva a través de los injertos óseos tipo onlay de contorno, junto a la elevación de la membrana del piso sinusal, son opciones de tratamiento a los maxilares severamente reabsorbidos (4,5) , pero la aceptación del paciente a este tipo de procedimientos podría ser baja debido a la naturaleza invasiva del procedimiento quirúrgico asociado con un mayor riesgo de morbilidad y altos costos.…”
