Survival Rates of Short Dental Implants (≤6 mm) Used as an Alternative to Longer (>6 mm) Implants for the Rehabilitation of Posterior Partial Edentulism: A Systematic Review of RCTs.

Studies assessing short implants in pristine bone and long implants in augmented bone showed increased MBL for long implants; nevertheless, the p -value failed to reach statistical significance (mean short: 0.322 mm, long 0.34 mm, 95%CI: −0.23 to 0.07, p = 0.929 > 0.05, I 2 = 14.5%) ( Figure S14 ).
