Recently, the field of oral implantology has undergone a change in orthodoxy with the innovation
of using the approximately 6 mm-long short implant without the need to augment bone grafting
to gain vertical height for optimal implant restoration.
Clinical Associate Professor Boyd J. Tomasetti, BA, DMD at the School of Dentistry of the Univer-
sity of Colorado, USA and Professor Rolf Ewers, MD, DMD, PhD, Chairman of the CMF Institute
for Cranio-Maxillofacial and Oral Rehabilitation, Navigation Surgery and Telemedicine in Vienna,
Austria, as editors, together with 26 contributors provide the readers with a comprehensive guide
to short implants.
"Short Implants" has 14 chapters which define the clinical indications and present restorative and
laboratory considerations based on these types of implants.
The history of dental implants, the indications and contraindications of short implants are
presented in the first chapters. The following chapters address short implants and early
Brånemark team developments, the possibility of reduced grafting without restorative compro-
mise and historical perspectives of the short implants.
The significance of bone–implant contact in short implants and clinical impact and the survival
of short and ultrashort plateau root form implants are convincingly recorded in the following
chapters.
Readers also have the opportunity to find an extensive description of the short and ultra-short
implant role in reconstruction in both cleft patients and cancer patients who have lost portions of
their mandible and/or maxilla, minimally invasive sinus lift and in the atrophic jaws.
The last chapters present in detail restoration techniques based on Bicon short implants and the
development of personal practice by using a new type of implant.
Professor Boyd J. Tomasetti and Professor Rolf Ewers and the 26 contributors managed to
present the readers with a comprehensive guide to short and ultrashort implants for practitioners
interested in learning a new opportunity to stand out from those who use only traditional long
implants.
