Study Reveals Strategies to Mitigate Bone Loss Risk Around Short Implants in Atrophic Mandibles

Posted: January 10, 2025
This finite element study investigated the risk of bone loss around short molar implants in an atrophic mandible. Results showed that increasing implant length, diameter, and number of contact areas reduced bone resorption risks by 20-40%. Implants with 6 occlusal contact areas had low resorption risk, while shorter implants with fewer contact areas posed medium to high risks. Enhancing implant dimensions can mitigate bone resorption in atrophic mandibles, aligning risks with standard implants in regular mandibles.
