Comparison of Extra-short (4 mm) Implants Used as Distal Support of a Maxillary Full-arch Fixed Dental Prosthesis vs. 10 mm Implants Installed After Sinus Floor Elevation. A Randomized Clinical Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Placement of extra short implants, maxillary sinus lift, maxillary sinus elevation, maxillary sinus augmentation, and 1 other intervention for Alveolar Bone Loss. Completed, enrolled 20 participants.
Detailed Summary
Recently, 4 mm long implants with a standard diameter have been used for the restoration of the posterior edentulous mandible with favorable results. However, randomized clinical trials reporting the results from full-arch fixed dental prosthesis that included 4 mm long implants placed in the posterior regions of the maxilla have not been published yet. The aim of the present study will be to compare the survival and success rates of 4 mm implants used as distal support of a maxillary full-arch fixed dental prosthesis with standard (10 mm) implants placed in association with a bilateral sinus floor augmentation procedure
