Utilization of Ultrashort Bicon Implants in Clinical Situations: A Retrospective Case Series

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: When vertical bone loss results in insufficient crestal height to place standard-length implants without the use of osseous grafting, this poses clinical issues to implant usage. Based on an analysis of the literature and clinical experience, it has been found that it is possible to optimally use the available bone volume of the maxillary and mandibular ridges for implant placement without extensive osseous grafting to increase vertical height. This case report will examine several uses of ultrashort implants utilizing the Bicon system in common clinical situations in the maxillary and mandibular arches without the need for osseous reconstruction to improve the available vertical height of the crest to permit implant placement.
