There is increasing evidence to support the use of short dental implants in the rehabilitation of missing teeth with implant-supported prostheses.1<\/sup><\/a><\/span>\u00a0Although splinting is not possible with a single-unit implant, several studies have documented good clinical outcomes in the short-term that favour the use of short implants to support single-tooth restoration.1,2<\/sup><\/a><\/span>\u00a0In 2002, we treated three patients, who were 44, 40, and 51-years-old, and were missing either a premolar or molar. They each had an implant 8.5\u2009mm long, with surgical abutment in place, and non-submerged healing was allowed. A porcelain-fused-to-metal crown was cemented on to the post of the abutment. After 16 years, the implants were still in place and the loss of marginal bone was between 0.23 and 0.48\u2009mm.<\/div>\n
