Short (6‐mm) dental implants versus sinus floor elevation and placement of longer (≥10‐mm) dental implants: a randomized controlled trial with a 3‐year follow‐up

Abstract

In this randomized controlled trial, results for short (6-mm) implants were similar to those for longer (≥10-mm) implants in augmented bone. Short implants might be preferable to SFE, because the treatment is faster and less expensive. Long-term randomized controlled trials are required to confirm these results.
