About this study

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.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Missing Posterior teeth, indicated for short implant placement.
  • Residual alveolar ridge at 6-8 mm height and at least 7mm width.
  • Healthy band of keratinized attached mucosa.
  • Good Oral hygiene.
  • Medically fit patient, free from relevant diseases.

Exclusion criteria

  • Medically compromised patients.
  • Imunnocompromised patients
  • Patients with Para-functional habits.
  • Smokers
  • Poor Oral hygiene.
  • Patient refuse to undergo the surgery.

Treatment and study plan

Double short implant

Other

Patients receives 2 short implants to restore missing posterior teeth, loaded with splinted screw retained crowns.

Single short implant

Other

Patients receives single short implants, loaded with single screw retained crowns.

Primary outcomes

  1. Implant Stability

    Time frame: 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.

  2. Implant Stability

    Time frame: 3 months

    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.

  3. Implant Stability

    Time frame: 6 months

    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.
