Dental implantation in patients with limited bone volume

Short Implants

A 91-year-old patient with a residual alveolar height of 5 - 8 mm – short implants

Long zygomatic implants and small-diameter, short implants in the upper jaw fitted with a full-arch bridge


Five 7-mm dental implants with ceramic crowns

Zygomatic implants and short anterior implants fitted with a full-arch bridge

Short implants to support ceramic crowns

Short and small-diameter implants for immediate loading following implantation; these implants were fitted with a zirconia bridge once healing was complete


Short implants serving as provisional abutments to allow for immediate loading


Short implants providing additional abutments in alveolar segments with reduced bone height (<= 5 mm)

Short implants providing additional abutments in alveolar segments with reduced bone height (<= 5 mm)

Short implants providing additional abutments in alveolar segments with reduced bone height (<= 5 mm)

Kurze Implantate als Hauptversorgungsimplantate für 2 Keramikbrücken


Short implants in the upper jaw to support a full-arch bridge


Short implants in a patient with reduced jaw bone height to support a full-arch bridge

Short implants in the upper jaw to support a full-arch bridge

Short implants to support a full-arch bridge in a patient with reduced bone volume


Short implants serving as the only support for a full-arch bridge; bone augmentation (build-up of bone) achieved by adequate loading without the need of surgery

Small-diameter implants (SDIs)

Four 3.3 mm implants, four 2.5 mm implants and two 4 mm implants to support a full-arch bridge


Two 2.5 mm implants and two 3 mm implants to support a ceramic bridge


Long zygomatic implants with four 2.5 mm implants and one 3 mm implant to support a full-arch bridge


Bar denture on two 3.5 mm implants, two 2.5 mm implants and two 1.8 mm implants with titanium bar structure and entirely bar-retained complete lower jaw denture

Small-diameter implants as temporary implants during the healing phase of the permanent implants in bone conditions compromising the primary stability of dental implants


Small-diameter implants serving as temporary implants

Small-diameter implants serving as the only support for a partial-arch restoration
