[Restorative treatment by means of short porous-surfaced implants]

to assess clinical efficiency of restorative treatment on short porous-surfaced implants. One hundred and fifty-five porous-surfaced 5, 7 and 9 mm implants were placed in 71 patients with partial teeth loss and significant alveolar bone loss. Only one implant failure was observed one month after placement. Other 154 implants were used as restoration abutments. One year after restorative treatment mean periotest rate was -5,3, mean radiologicaly confirmed marginal bone loss 0,31 mm. No treatment failure were revealed during 3 years of follow-up.
