Short implant, Splinted short implant
Brief summary
The aim of this study was to evaluate clinically and radiographically the splinted short implants' and single short implants' stability and bone condition before and after loading, in atrophic posterior mandibular alveolar ridges.
Detailed description
A prospective study was conducted on 16 Patients with missing posterior molars. Group A: 8 patients had 2 short implants placed in atrophic posterior mandibular alveolar ridge. Group B: 8 patients had a single short implant placed in atrophic posterior mandibular alveolar ridge.
Interventions
OTHERDouble short implant
Patients receives 2 short implants to restore missing posterior teeth, loaded with splinted screw retained crowns.
OTHERSingle short implant
Patients receives single short implants, loaded with single screw retained crowns.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Implant Stability | Immediately after the operation | Implant stability was measured using Implant Stability Quotient (ISQ), a scale from 1 to 100. The ISQ scale has a non-linear correlation to micro-mobility. High stability means \>70 ISQ, between 60-69 is medium stability and \< 60 ISQ is considered as low stability. |
