Abstract
The goal of implant rehabilitation is to achieve initial stability and sustain functional loads. Longer than 10 mm implants
provide an increased area to facilitate osseointegration and so the rationale was unquestioned for many years. However, the
resorbed posterior maxilla poses a challenge. The feasibility of 7 mm size was analyzed but failures were seen by the Branemark
and other systems that followed. With the improvisation in surface textures in recent years, short and wide fixtures have proven
predictable. A successful attempt was shown in the present study with the 5x5 fixture and assessed three-year post loading clinicoradiographically.
