Effect of a platform switch and a laser-microgrooved coronal design on short dental implants: A multicenter retrospective study

Key Points

• To examine the impact of platform switching and laser-microgrooved coronal design on short dental implants.
• Conducted a multicenter retrospective study
• Evaluated short implants in atrophic posterior jaws
• Assessed success rates and bone level stability over 3-5 years
• Short implants showed high success rates
• Stable crestal bone levels were maintained
• Design positively influenced implant performance
