Abstract

The clinical use of several endosseous oral implants designs has become highly predictable in recent decades. Implant success critically depends both on the vertical and horizontal dimensions of the prospective host site and on the quality of the local bone. Implants shorter than 10 mm can be a long-term solution for sites with limited bone height. This article describes theoretical characteristics and clinical outcome of short implants through a medline search. When surgical preparation is related to bone density, textured-surfaced implants are employed, operators' surgical skills are developed, and indications for implant treatment duly considered, the survival rates for short implants has been found to be comparable with those obtained with longer implants.

최근에는 임플란트를 이용한 치료가 예측 가능한 치료로 자리 잡고 있다. 충분한 골질과 골량은 임플란트의 성공에 중요한 역할을 한다. 10 mm 이하의 임플란트의 사용은 골질이 불충분할 때 부가적인 수술의 대안이 될 수 있다. 이 논문은 길이 10 mm 이하의 임플란트와 관련된 생역학적 관점과 발표된 임상결과들을 리뷰하고 사용 예지성을 제시하고자 하였다. 임플란트의 초기고정여부, 시술자의 learning curve, 사용한 임플란트의 표면처리, 환자의 골질들을 적절히 고려한 후 짧은 길이의 임플란트를 사용한다면 부가적인 수술 필요성의 대안이 될 수 있을 것이다.
