The aim of this retrospective cohort study is to evaluate the survival rate, complications and patient satisfaction of short implants (u22648mm) and to investigate whether the crown-implant ratio (C/I) has impact on the long term clinical outcomes of short implants.Methods and Materials: Ninety-eight short implants were placed and restored in 65 patients. C/I were measured. For implants with C/I u2265 1, clinical examination were conducted. Implant survival, complications and patient satisfaction was recorded. Results: For 92 implants, the C/I were u2265 1.With a mean follow-up of ten years, survival rate of the 92 implants was 93.5%. The most frequent complications were peri-implantitis and soft tissue complications.Conclusions and clinical significance: Placing short implants in the posterior regions has a predictable outcome in patients with reduced bone height.
