Surgical Planning and Procedures
When severely atrophic jaws are encountered, many different implant-prosthetic approaches have been used to address this condition. The more-aggressive protocols call for bone grafting followed by placement of standard-diameter endosseous implants. This presentation focuses on clinical applications of implants with reduced dimensions. In the setting of reduced alveolar bone height, short dental implants offer clinicians a pragmatic option to facilitate prosthetic restoration when confronted with anatomic limitations. When short implants are employed, implant design and surface properties become very important. Likewise, diameter-reduced implants must be used judiciously to avoid complications.
