Immediate Loading of Fixed Partial Dental Prostheses on Extra-Short and Short Implants in Patients with Severe Atrophy of the Posterior Maxilla or Mandible: An Up-to-4-year Clinical Study.

CONCLUSION: The cumulative survival rate and MBL reported in this study encourage the use of short and extra-short implants to immediately restore with fixed prostheses partially edentulous patients with severe vertical bone atrophy in posterior areas. Thus, it could be an alternative treatment to vertical bone augmentation.
