SHORT DENTAL IMPLANTS AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO LONG DENTAL IMPLANTS IN CONJUGATION WITH MAXILLARY SINUS AUGMENTATION PROCEDURE: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW AND META-ANALYSIS
Keywords:
Atrophic Maxilla, Short Dental Implants, Sinus Augmentation, Short and Long Dental ImplantsAbstract
Long dental implants and standard dental implants are difficult to place in posterior part of maxilla because of reduced bone volume due to post extraction resorption of bone and Pneumatization of maxilla. So, aim of the present review to evaluate the success of short dental implants compare to long and standard dental implants in conjugation with maxillary sinus augmentation. Electronic search is carried out through PubMed, Google Scholar from year 2012 – 2022, highlighting the use of short dental implants and long dental implants in combination with sinus augmentation. The search yielded 174 titles. Finally, six Randomized controlled studies that fulfilled the inclusion criteria were included. All studies have a low risk of bias. Meta-analyses revealed significant differences regarding biological complications. No significant differences were found regarding other included outcome measures. Short dental implants can be used as an alternative to long and standard length implants in conjugation with sinus augmentation.
