SHORT DENTAL IMPLANTS: A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW OF BIOMECHANICAL AND CLINICAL PERSPECTIVES

Short dental implants are a safe and effective choice for patients who do not have enough bone height for standard implants. They reduce the need for complex bone grafting, making treatment faster, less invasive, and more affordable. With proper planning, short implants show success rates similar to regular implants. While concerns like extra stress on the bone exist, modern designs and careful bite adjustment help overcome these challenges. Overall, short implants provide reliable results and high patient satisfaction.
