ABSTRACT
Objective: Bone Deficiency And Other Anatomical Limitations Might Compromise Dental Implant Surgery In Posterior Maxilla. Short Implant Is An Alternative Treatment To Overcome This Issue. The Purpose Of This Study Was To Compare The Clinical, Radiographical And Patient-recorded Outcomes Of Short Dental Implants (5.5 Mm) Versus Longer Dental Implants (10 Mm) Combined With Bone Added Osteotome Sinus Floor Elevation (BAOSFE) In Rehabilitation Of The Posterior Maxilla At 6 Months Of Loading

Materials and Methods: 13 Patients In Need Of Dental Implant Treatment In The Posterior Maxilla With Total Of 14 Implants, Divided Into Two-arm Equal Parallel Groups. One-way ANOVA Followed By Tukey?s Post-hoc Tests Were Conducted To Compare Implant Stability Quotient Within Each Treatment Group At Different Follow-up Periods. Independent Student-t Test Was Used To Compare Implant Stability Quotient Between The Two Treatment Groups At Each Follow-up Period.

Results: No Statistically Significant Differences In ISQ Mean Values Was Found Between Both Treatment Groups Within Each Follow-up Period.

Conclusions: Both Treatments Showed Comparable High ISQ Values. Limited By An Only 10-month Follow-up Period, These Results May Favor The Use Of The Less Invasive, Time Saving, Cost-effective Short Implant Treatment Option.
