Abstract

Endosseous dental implants have become a predictable treatment option for applicable patient. However, it is not always possible to place dental implants in all patients as the bone quality and quantity matters the most. One such situation exists in maxillary posterior teeth region where the bone quality is poor as well as the presence of maxillary sinus makes it difficult for a clinician to place implants. Advancements in science and technology makes the impossible possible. One such advancement is the application of short implants in posterior maxillary region where pneumatization of maxillary sinus is considered to be a major concern in placing dental implants. This review focuses on the use of short implants in posterior maxillary region.
