OBJECTIVE: The aim of this multicenter parallel-group randomized controlled trial is to compare, in the same clinical scenario, 6 mm short with 11 mm long implants for the rehabilitation of completely edentulous non-atrophic mandibles.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty patients in three study centers received a fixed full-arch mandibular rehabilitation supported by five inter-foraminal implants, with no need for bone augmentation procedures. Patients were randomly allocated (1:1 ratio), at the time of surgery, to test (6 mm implants) or control group (11 mm implants). After 3 months, a screw-retained full-arch prosthesis was positioned (baseline). Peri-implant marginal bone level change (MBLc, primary outcome) together with implant and prosthesis survival rate, and biological/technical complications (secondary outcomes) were evaluated up to 5 years.
RESULTS: Twenty seven patients were controlled at 5 years (3 drop-outs). No implant or prosthesis loss occurred. No significant intergroup difference for biological/technical complications (p > .05, Fisher's exact test) and no significant intragroup and intergroup difference in the MBLc values were registered (test -0.03 ± 0.17 mm and control -0.13 ± 0.32 mm at 5-years; p > .025, one-sided Mann-Whitney U-test).
CONCLUSIONS: When used in comparable anatomic, surgical, and prosthetic conditions, no difference in the clinical and radiographic outcomes between 6-mm and 11-mm implants was observed at 5 years of follow-up. Short implants showed to be a reliable option for the rehabilitation of completely edentulous non-atrophic mandibles. There is growing clinical evidence supporting the use of short implants, even in the case of non-atrophic sites.
