Early loading of single crowns supported by 6‐mm‐long implants with a moderately rough surface: a prospective 2‐year follow‐up cohort study

Abstract

Short implants (6 mm) with a moderately rough surface loaded early (after 6 weeks) during healing yielded high implant survival rates and moderate loss of bone after 2 years of loading. Longer observation periods are needed to draw more definite conclusions on the reliability of short implants supporting single crowns.
