Partial-edentulism
Conditions
Brief summary
The main aim of this clinical trial is to analyze the survival rate of short-length implants (\<4.5 mm) in partial edentulism subjects. 6.5 mm length implants will be used as control arm. Additionally, others clinical parameters (marginal bone loss and prosthetic associated complications) will be measured.
Interventions
Placement of dental implants of 5.5 vs \>6.5 mm length
