Abstract
The placement and restoration of endosseous dental implants have become routine dental procedures that offer high success rates when suitable planning and protocols are followed. Anatomical considerations may exist, in the posterior region of both mandible and maxilla, that pose limitations, such as the position of the inferior alveolar nerve and the sinus cavity. Methods to increase vertical height of the posterior mandible or maxilla, such as autogenous bone augmentation, inferior alveolar nerve repositioning and sinus lifting, have shown high levels of morbidity. For patients with inadequate vertical height of the posterior maxilla and mandible, placement of short-length dental implants can be considered.
Prospective clinical trials have found excellent success rates for endosseous root-form dental implants of standard lengths, with success rates and survival rates of up to 98% across numerous studies (Buser 1997; Mangano 2010). Many studies have shown higher failure rates for shorter-length implants; recent reports have shown success rates comparable to longer-length implants (Misch 2006; Renouard 2006).
The purpose of this research is to determine the success rate of short implants placed in premolar regions, using statistical analyses of a retrospective review of the University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine Electronic Health Record [EHR].
