Comparative Evaluation of the Clinical Efficacy of Short Implants With Standard-Length Implants - a Randomised Controlled Trial

Periodontal disease , especially in its advanced stages , is one of the main cause for tooth loss .Tooth replacement options include dental implants , fixed partial denture , removable partial denture and complete dentures . Dental implants have become more common treatment for replacing missing teeth and aim to improve chewing efficiency, physical health and esthetic. Although conventional implants cannot be placed in every site due to resorption of the alveolar socket after extraction. Thus short implants can be used as an alternative . Hence, this study aims at comparing the clinical efficacy of short implants with standard length implants placed in native or augmented bone in patients with a history of periodontitis.
