The Early Stability of Short vs. Standard Dental Implants with Identical Shallow-Thread in the Posterior Region of the Mandible: A Prospective Pilot Study.
Within the constraints of this small, nonrandomized pilot, 7-mm shallow-thread implants in D2-D3 bone demonstrated primary stability that was descriptively similar to 11-mm implants, providing effect-size estimates and testable hypotheses for future adequately powered randomized trials rather than practice-changing gui...
