- Abstract
- A short dental implant is considered as possible solution in difficult clinical situations for the placement of a regular length implant. Using a short implant avoiding more invasive surgical procedures simplifies the treatment plan and shortenes the duration of treatment. In this case, 71-year-old female came up with discomfort from her old mandibular denture. As she had fully edentulous mandible and got a negative feedback from removable denture, implant-supported fixed prosthesis was planned. Six short implants were placed on her mandible with severe alveolar bone loss. After 1 year follow up period, implants were well retained with any other abnormal findings. The patient was satisfied with her prostheses and satisfactory outcomes were attained in terms of both esthetic and functional clinical results.
