Abstract :
Objectives: Short dental implants allow the placement of the implants into the atrophic jaws or cases that alveolar bone height limited by anatomical structures without additional surgical augmentation procedures. The aim of the study is presentation of the clinical and radiological results of the short dental implants which placed in our clinic by associating dental implant type, prosthesis type and follow-up period. Materials and Methods: 32 short dental implants which were placed to 23 patients were included to the study. Clinical follow-up was performed with periodontal parameters and radiological follow-up was performed with panoramic radiographs. Results: According to study results, there was no correlation between marginal bone loss and periodontal parameters (p 0,05). Also there was no statistical difference between marginal bone loss around short dental implants and implant and prosthesis type (p 0,05). Finally, there was statistically significant difference between followup periods and marginal bone loss (p 0,05). Conclusions: As a result of this study, short dental implants can be used as a successful treatment method in atrophic jaws.
