The oral rehabilitation of a patient with atrophic maxilla is one of the main challenges in implant-supported rehabilitations. The implant placement in the posterior region of the maxilla is limited by a deficiency of bone quantity and quality, besides the anatomic restriction of the maxillary sinus. The use of zygoma fixtures, anchoraged in the zygomatic bone, is a useful technique to enable the full arch rehabilitation. However, complications related to this procedure bring a lot of difficulty in solving. This study presents the use of extra-short implants as a strategy to treat a patient in whom the zygoma fixture and the fixed prosthesis failed, associated with sinusitis and alveolar bone loss.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how adding extra implants to mandibular overdentures affects oral health and patient satisfaction among edentulous patients.
- Patients were split into two groups: one received a standard overdenture with two implants, while the other received an overdenture with two additional short implants for greater anchorage.
- Results showed that while the extra implants did provide some benefits, they did not significantly improve overall patient satisfaction or quality of life compared to the standard implant setup.

This study aimed to assess clinical and radiographic outcomes, including implant survival, marginal bone loss, and patient satisfaction, in individuals with severe bone atrophy treated using a newly developed system of short and extra-short implants. A total of 44 implants (37 short and 7 extra-short) were placed with immediate loading in 11 patients. The patients were followed up at between 6 and 24 months.

Methods: This study included 28 patients with 38 FRC prostheses supported by 96 implants. Implant and prosthesis survival and success rates were evaluated using Kaplan-Meier analysis.

Background: Limited data exist on the mid- to long-term masticatory capacity of mandibular overdenture (IOD) wearers, particularly regarding the use of posterior implants to retention.
Objectives: To periodically evaluate mastication of IOD wearers, comparing the effectiveness of two to four implants to retain the prosthesis.
Methods: In a randomised controlled clinical trial, 20 complete edentulous patients (14 women), aged 51-84 years (mean age 69.
