Short Implant

Shortened implants are used with insufficient bone quality and a small height of the alveolar bone

Short Implant

The traditional implant systems use is limited by the low quality of bone, reduction of the height of the alveolar apophysis, anatomy of the maxillary sinus and channel of the lower jaw limit the use of traditional implantation systems.

The conditions for implant installation are made by building-up of the alveolar comb with auto-bone or synthetic or organic materials. These manipulations take much time, are uncomfortable and painful for the patient.

The earlier alternative of the bone plastic were implants with smaller length but they were used rarely – the biomechanics in back teeth area limited the establishment of the shortened implants.

Short implants are modern, maximum shortened implants with a wide diameter.

Advantages

Optimal for the installation in case of deficit of the bone tissue
Reduces the likelihood of bone plastic
Speeds the osseointegration
Reduces the time and expenses for the operation

Technical Characteristics

  • Self-cutting thread with three cutting bores, surface handled by multi-stage method Smart, a stubble shoulder of the implant`s body, dived lower than cortical edge of the bone.
  • Short implant distributes the mechanical loading from prosthetic the on the bone.
  • Hex shaped connection of implant-abutment.

Recommendation

The hole in the bone is made with the use of finish cutter with regards to the implant's diameter.

  • If the diameter of the implant is 5,0 mm, the last drill`s size must be 3,5 mm.
  • If the diameter of the implant is 5,5 mm, the last drill`s size must be 4,0 mm.
  • If the diameter of the implant is 6,0 mm, the last drill`s size must be 4,5 mm.

The drilling depth is 5-6 mm then the appropriate finish cutter will be used for the entire length.

The dental protocol is the same as with other implants.
