ONE- YEAR PROSPECTIVE STUDY OF 6.6-MM-LONG ANKYLOS IMPLANT IN THE
MANDIBLE WITH HIGH CROWN/IMPLANT RATIO

n patient with long-standing edentulous arches, alveolar bone resorption is frequently observed. The inser-
tion of dental implants in patients with reduced alveolar bone height is challenging and may require addi-
tional invasive bone augmentation procedures. By modifying patient’s anatomy, it is possible to insert longer
implants, but extra surgical intervention may also lead to greater patient morbidity, higher costs and longer
treatment periods. This study was performed to evaluate the one year clinical prognosis of short implants in
the mandible. Implants of 6.6mm in length (Ankylos®) may be a useful option in patients with severe alveolar
bone resorption. The survival of short implants may be influenced by a number of factors, including location
and bone quality, as well as design, type and diameter of the implant. These factors should be assessed in
further studies.
