Component Description
Population (P) Healthy adult patients with partially or completely lower or upper (or both) edentulous jaw requiring dental implant treatment
Intervention (I) Short dental implants (≤ 8 mm) placement in native bone
Comparison (C) Longer dental implants (> 8 mm) placement simultaneously with alveolar bone augmentation
Outcomes (O) Short and longer implant treatment outcomes by evaluating following clinical parameters: survival rate, marginal bone loss, bleeding on probing, periodontal pocket depth, implant stability quotient, and complications.
Focus question Are there any differences in treatment outcomes in short dental implants compared to longer implants simultaneously placed with alveolar bone augmentation?
