Short and Ultra-short Implants

In resorbed ridges, the short implant has gone from being a compromise to an option backed by research, with fewer risks for patient and clinician alike. Douglas Deporter first reviews the clinical efficacy of short and ultra-short implants and then develops treatment protocols according to implant type and region of the mouth, with chapters given over to the atrophic posterior mandible and to molar replacement with wide-diameter implants. The case presentations show the recommended techniques and the results obtained. An English-language read for the implantologist wanting to reduce surgical aggression without losing predictability.
