REVIEW ARTICLE PREDICTABILITY OF SHORT DENTAL IMPLANTS A LITERARY REVIEW Harish Konde1 HOW TO CITE THIS ARTICLE: Harish Konde. “Predictability of short dental implants a literary review”. Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences 2013; Vol2, Issue 31, August 5; Page: 5720-5727. ABSTRACT: Implant Dentistry is a developing science which has become very predictable in various clinical situations. One of the clinical situations is to deal with compromised bone for implant placement where advanced surgical procedures and materials are used. But sometimes extensive surgical procedures may not be planned for various reasons, in which case short implant is a boon to clinical practice. So, before advising short implants, it is very important to know the evidence behind the success, indications, and limitations. Hence this article focuses on the various aspects of short implants which will help a clinician in making a judgement. INTRODUCTION: The use of dental implants for treatment of partial & complete edentulism has become effective recently. Dental implant serves as a load bearing device that not only sustains masticatory forces, but also transfers load to per implant bone. Dental implants can however have limitations in situations of either reduced bone height or presence of anatomical structures such as extensive maxillary sinus pneumatization, proximity to tooth socket, inferior alveolar nerve & mental foramen. It was assumed at the time of introduction of dental implants that longer implants would be more beneficial in clinical use than their shorter counterpart due to improved crown to implant ratio& greater implant surface for osseointegration. However with recent technological advances in the design & surface characteristics of dental implant, shorter implants are equally successful based on the evidence. An introspect into the review & success of this procedure can bring about a viable treatment option for compromised bone length in clinical practice. RATIONALE: The use of short implants is justified by the fact of the bone/implant interface distributes most of the occlusal forces to the most superior portion of the implant body, close to the alveolar crest. Studies on finite element analysis demonstrate that implant length does not have relevant effect on the tension distribution because the most concentration is on alveolar crest surrounding the implants. The forces acting on the implant supported prosthesis are produced by masticatory muscles and should be analysed and transferred within the physiological limits of the system. Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences/ Volume 2/ Issue 31/ August 5, 2013 Page 5720 REVIEW ARTICLE Edentulism in the posterior region of maxilla will not only lead to alveolar ridge resorption but also results in shifting of maxillary sinus towards the alveolar crest minimizing the superior inferior level of bone available. In clinical situations with little bone availability, short implants are a simple & predictable alternative. An implant is considered short when presenting a length smaller than 10mm overtime, but none of the short implants available are less than 6mm in length. The pattern of bone losses after tooth extraction at both maxilla’s posterior area and mandible is different. Maxilla presents a greater horizontal loss at buccal palatal direction, with a slow vertical loss. Maxilla’s vertical bone loss occurs in two directions-the natural height remodelling undergone by the bone and maxillary sinus pneumatization. On the other hand the mandibular vertical bone loss occurs mainly at the vertical direction, generally resulting in a smaller bone height. This type of bone loss and presence of important anatomical areas in the planning of atrophic posterior arches is complex. The rehabilitation of the patient in such limited situations involves advanced surgical techniques i.e. bone grafts, maxillary sinus lifting which there by increases the treatment length and cost. The tensions generated on the implant, prosthetic components and bone tissues are directly proportional to the force applied and inversely proportional to the low distribution area. Tensions coming from the axial loads are distributed uniformly on the prosthetic components and the bone tissue. INDICATIONS / Factors influencing short implant placement: 1. Masticatory Forces: Forces acting on implant supported prosthesis are produced by masticator muscles &transferred within physiological limit to the system. 2. Unfavourable crown /implant ratio 3. Quality of bone- Low quality may compromise the longevity of short implant. In addition to the overload increase, the tensions &deformities tend to be greater on the bone in which rigidity is decreased. 4. Systemic illnesses & smoking habits -They are capable of acting as risk factors for success of short implants due to load distribution host responses to bacterial action leading to an increased risk of periodontal diseases & peri implantitis. 5. Anatomic considerations- In both maxilla & mandible, the height & width of available bones are crucial for placement of implants. In addition, bony undercuts can cause perforation of cortical bone during osteotomy and lead to subperiosteal implant placement and apices of teeth may be very close to osteotomy site. Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences/ Volume 2/ Issue 31/ August 5, 2013 Page 5721 REVIEW ARTICLE Maxillary arch: Anatomic consideration in maxilla include maxillary sinus posteriorly, nasal floor anteriorly and nasopalatine canal. Iatrogenic perforation in maxillary sinus can occur if implants are too long for available bone height. Implant placement in posterior region is challenging, given the possibility of sinus problems, insufficient space between the arches & previous bone resorption. Enlargement of maxillary sinus [pneumatization] can occur due to bone loss from the internal aspect of sinus wall. Mandibular arch: The inferior dental canal in the resorbed mandible is an important anatomic consideration in the mandible. The inferior dental canal may also be positioned more superiorly in some patients. In the inter foramen area, the amount of bone resorption and anatomy of mental nerve must be considered to avoid injury or perforation of cortical plate or impinging on the mental nerve. Other anatomical considerations include anterior looping of mental nerve & the lingual foramina. In addition, many patients may include presence of bifid mandibular canal & accessory mental foramina. 6. Less invasive - Short implants placement are less complex and less invasive than the placement of longer implants in clinical sites where prior adjunctive ridge augmentation, localised bone grating, inferior mandibular nerve repositioning or maxillary sinus elevation would be required. Short implant result in limited bone removal& is less traumatic. Quota studies; short implants simplify treatment in the post resorbed maxilla &mandible & reduce the number of situations where adjunctive therapy is required. Even if required the degree of invasiveness is considerably reduced. Short implants can be placed if passive bone graft resorption has occurred at a site situated for longer implants. They remove the need for cantilever that might otherwise be required to avoid placing implants in an area with resorbed bone. A short implant is less invasive than longer implant with adjunctive therapy to create sufficient bone. It results in less pain & discomfort for the patient &shorter healing period& overall time. In addition, dental implants offer viable &successful alternative to the treatment that had otherwise result in the destruction of healthy tooth structure, such as placement of bridge 7. Alternative treatment option for Angulated implant- Angulated implants are increasingly being discussed as an alternative treatment option in situations of limited vertical bone height. The objective of placing implant ina tilted position is to utilize as much bone as possible, bypassing adjacent structures [i.e. Mental foramen, maxillary sinus etc] and increase the surface area for restorative support. Restorations can be inserted on these implants via angulated abutment. Recommendations: the case of angulated implant should remain confined to situations of favourable bone quality. Angulated implants should only be placed after suitable 3dplanning, leading to 3d – treatment guidance. Greater inclination of implant leads to increased force level at the implant bone &implant abutment interfaces, therefore extensive angulations should be avoided. Inter implant angulation should be confine17d to a single 3d plane to simplify prosthetic restorations. Single tooth restorations & cantilever bridges as angulated implants should be avoided, and the aim should be to splint the implant. Adequate training & clinical experience is a must. Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences/ Volume 2/ Issue 31/ August 5, 2013 Page 5722 REVIEW ARTICLE REVIEW: Studies have suggested that cumulative success rates for implant >10mm is in the range of 91.85% - 99.4%. However other studies, utilizing larger patient sample sizes have success rates in the range of 83.7% - 88.95%. This discrepancy can be attributed to the different lengths of implant alone. Placement of longer implants becomes problematic due to anatomic limitations & bone availability. Malo’16 et al stated that a short implant of 7 and 8.5 mm with modified surfaces and adequate placement technique almost matches the success rate of implants. Tawil & Younan17 observed 262 machine implants of 10 or 12mm which supported 163 prosthesis with 8.5% mandible and 11.5 % maxilla. Implants surface treatment is another primary resource capable of increasing upto 33% of the bone implant contact percentage which is beneficial to tension contribution. Modifications in surface morphology were developed to improve the mechanical imbrications between bone tissues and implant surface favouring the stability and forces dissipation. Further treatment increases the osseointegration. A study was conducted of survival rate of short implants less than 10mm installed in partially edentulous patients. A systematic search was conducted in the electronic database of MEDLINE. A total of 2600 short length of 5 to 9.5mm were analysed. An increase in implant length was associated with increase in implant survival. The findings from this systematic review give evidence that short implants (less than 10mm) can be placed successfully with a tendency towards increasing survival rate. Installation of shorter dental implants in the mandible has better prognosis over installations in the maxilla. Surface topography and augmentation procedure preceding the implant installation did not affect the failure rate of short implants. Using finite element analysis a series of different experimentally designed short and mini implants have been analysed with regard to the load transfer to the bone and have been compared to the respective standard implants. Short implants were inserted in the posterior bone segmented and loaded in osseointegra1ted state with the force of 300 newtons. Increased bone loading was observed for short and mini implants as compared with standard implants exceeding the physiological limits of 100 mega pascals . Short implants have following advantages biomechanically there is bone loading which is more than that compared to the standard implants. Success & Survival of implants: Success is defined by immobility, absence of peri implant radiolucency vertical bone loss <0.2mm annually flowing the implant’s first year of service, absence of persistent and/or irreversible signs or symptoms of such as pain, infections, neuropathies, paresthesia or violation of the mandibular canal.Teixierira18et al reported on the survival of 60 hydroxylapatite implants, 8-mm long, placed in the poste1rior mandible of partially edentulous cases. Over an observation period of 5 years, 2 implants failed, leading to a failure rate of 3.3%. Deporter19 et al published early data on 48 implants, 7 and 9 mm long. After a mean observation period of 32.6 months none of the implants had failed. All implants were placed in the posterior mandible, and 83% were single-tooth restorations. Regarding implants placed in posterior locations in the maxilla, Deporter19 et al reported on 26 implants, 5, 7 and 9mm long, placed with simultaneous sinus elevation. After a mean follow up of 11 months, none of the implants had failed. Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences/ Volume 2/ Issue 31/ August 5, 2013 Page 5723 REVIEW ARTICLE Tenbruggenkate22 et al reported on short, plasma sprayed implants, 6-mm long, placed in both jaws. When only the short implants placed in the premolar and molar locations were considered a failure rate of 14% was observed in the maxilla. Failure of Implants: Failure as decided by the implant length. Distribution of failed implants by length (TABLE 1)13 Implant length(mm) 7 8.5 Total Number of implants placed 17 294 311 Number of failed implants 2 11 13 Percentage of failed implants 11.8 3.7 4.2 SURFACE TREATMENT OF SHORT IMPLANTS: The review of literature in Table 2 shows that the best short implants results are achieved with implants having textured surfaces. These Osseotite implant data show short length outcomes are equivalent to standard length implants. The increase in surface area by the textured surface exceeds the reduction in surface area as seen with decreased implant length. Thus minimum osseous contact surface area is maintained. Compared to machined surface, the Osseotite surface showed a higher bone to implant contact in poor quality bone. Thus combination of higher surface area and contact osteogenesis contribute to higher survival rates of short implants.

As enough evidence through research & clinical scenarios exist, the clinical judgement should be based on the evidence & availability of newer technological advances as against involving advanced augmentative procedures. The advantages & drawbacks should be considered before adopting a technique or material. Short implants are such a boon in certain clinical situations, but at the same time cannot be a universal choice of treatment. REFERENCES: 1.
