Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of short dental implants with an expandable design as an alternative to sinus elevation in patients with insufficient alveolar ridge height in the posterior maxilla.
- The retrospective study involved 50 patients with a total of 73 implants, focusing on aspects like patient demographics, implant characteristics, and success rates over a minimum of one year post-treatment.
- Results indicated a high success rate of 97.2% and an average bone loss of 1.03 mm, suggesting that these implants could be a viable option for certain cases instead of traditional sinus elevation.
