Short Implants- An alternate to adjunctive implant surgical procedure- A review
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Dental Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Reduced alveolar bone height due to post extraction atrophy becomes a major challenge in placement of conventional implants. In these conditions, various ridge augmentation procedures have been suggested. However, these are not without drawbacks. As an alternate, the use of short implants has been advocated. The review focuses on the use of short implants in the cases with reduced alveolar bone height. Keywords:Reduced alveolar bone height, post-extraction atrophy with short implants
