Evidence Supports the Use of Short Implants as a Graftless Solution

The study design was an analytical review of articles that reported clinical data with at least a 1-year follow-up. PubMed was the main source of information, and the years reviewed included 1990 to 2023. The inclusion criteria for this analytical analysis included retrospective and prospective studies. The predictor variable was the use of short implants for fixed restorations. The primary outcome variable was implant status coded as survived or failed. The covariates were the type of restoration using either splinted short implants or short implants used as single-tooth replacements, and time to failure was either less than 1 year or at least 1 year. Bivariate statistics assessed the association between splinting or single implants and failure with a significance of P < .05.The study design was an analytical review of articles that reported clinical data with at least a 1-year follow-up.
