Short and Extra Short Implants. This item is unavailable.Short and Extra Short Implants

Dental implants have become increasingly important in oral reconstruction. The high rate of success of rehabilitation with implant-supported prostheses has increased the esthetic demands of patients from the clinicians. In atrophic maxillary bone, where a conventional implant will be placed, particularly in the sinus region, sinus augmentation using autogenous bone or a sinus elevation procedure is done. An alternative to these invasive treatments is short and extra short implants, which is a less invasive procedure, have good predictability, and also improves patient acceptance. Short and Extra short implants were introduced recently as a new approach to simplify implant placement in compromised alveolar bone and to prevent possible damage to the vital structures. This book throws light upon short and extra short implants, which can help clinicians make the correct choice during treatment planning.
