Fifteen patients (eight males, seven females) with a mean age of 67 \u00b1 9 years were included.<\/p>\n<p><strong class=\"sub-title\">Results:\u00a0<\/strong>No significant difference in the implant position between groups (p = 0.808) was observed. Implant diameters ranged from 3.00 to 4.25 mm, and the most common bone type was type I (67%). Bone density (p = 0.574) and implant insertion torque (p = 0.888) were similar between groups. Mesial MBL (mean: -0.1; range: -1.19 to 0.24 for TG, and -0.03; -1.75 to 0.45 for CG; p = 0.955) and distal MBL (mean: -0.05; range: -1.41 to 0.27 for TG, and 0.08; -1.45 to 0.72 for CG; p = 0.118) did not show statistical differences. There were no implant failures or technical complications.<\/p>\n<p><strong class=\"sub-title\">Conclusions:\u00a0<\/strong>These findings suggest that 5.5 mm length implants could be a viable option for use in posterior regions, providing similar clinical outcomes to longer implants one year post-implantation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong class=\"sub-title\">Keywords:\u00a0<\/strong>RCT; dental implant; implant survival; marginal bone loss; short implants.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3>Figures<\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=&#8221;middle&#8221; content_text_aligment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_column]<div class=\"qodef-image-gallery qodef-grid-list qodef-disable-bottom-space  qodef-ig-grid-type qodef-four-columns qodef-tiny-space  qodef-image-behavior-lightbox\">\n\t<div class=\"qodef-ig-inner qodef-outer-space\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"qodef-ig-image qodef-item-space\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"qodef-ig-image-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a itemprop=\"image\" class=\"qodef-ig-lightbox\" href=\"https:\/\/www.btitrainingcenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/dentistry-12-00292-g001.jpg\" data-rel=\"prettyPhoto[image_gallery_pretty_photo-100]\" title=\"&lt;strong&gt;Figure 1.&lt;\/strong&gt; CONSORT flow diagram.\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.btitrainingcenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/dentistry-12-00292-g001-200x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"qodef-ig-image qodef-item-space\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"qodef-ig-image-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a itemprop=\"image\" class=\"qodef-ig-lightbox\" href=\"https:\/\/www.btitrainingcenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/dentistry-12-00292-g002.jpg\" data-rel=\"prettyPhoto[image_gallery_pretty_photo-100]\" title=\"&lt;strong&gt;Figure 2.&lt;\/strong&gt; Anatomical position of the dental implants according to the study group.\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.btitrainingcenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/dentistry-12-00292-g002-200x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"qodef-ig-image qodef-item-space\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"qodef-ig-image-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a itemprop=\"image\" class=\"qodef-ig-lightbox\" href=\"https:\/\/www.btitrainingcenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/dentistry-12-00292-g003.jpg\" data-rel=\"prettyPhoto[image_gallery_pretty_photo-100]\" title=\"&lt;strong&gt;Figure 3.&lt;\/strong&gt; (a) Implant placement and immediate loading. #3.6 position implant: 3.0 mm diameter; 5.5 mm length; intermediate abutment height of 4.0 mm. #3.7 position implant: 3.75 mm diameter; 6.5 mm length; intermediate abutment height of 3.5 mm.
