A network meta-analysis comparing treatment modalities of short and long implants in the posterior maxilla with insufficient bone height by Yixuan Zhang, Xiaoyue Tang, Yue Zhang, Can Cao

“…Long implants have lower failure rates (OR = 1.26; 95% CI = 0.53, 3.00) and short dental implants showed a trend towards lower biological (OR = 0.47; 95% CI = 0.19, 1.18) and mechanical (OR = 0.94; 95% CI = 0.45, 1.94) complications rates, although this trend was not statistically significant.
