Long-Term Clinical Evaluation of Short Implants on Posterior Partially Edentulous Areas: A 14-Year Retrospective Study.

CONCLUSION: Short implants (≤ 8 mm) in posterior edentulous areas showed comparable long-term outcomes of marginal bone loss and success and survival rates with conventional implants regardless of other clinical variables such as surgical procedure, crown/implant ratio, prosthetic type, and arch location.
