dc.descriptionStatement of problem: Extra-short implants in the posterior mandible can increase the functional surface area and reduce the risk of implant overload. However, reports of treatment using single extra-short implants in the posterior mandible with a midterm follow-up are lacking. Purpose: The purpose of this prospective pilot study was to evaluate the clinical behavior of single extra-short 4-mm implants placed in the posterior mandible during a follow-up of 3 years from implant restoration. Material and methods: A total of 18 participants with a single extra-short 4-mm-long implant placed in the area of the mandibular first molars participated in this pilot study. The survival and success rates of implants, as well as biologic and prosthetic variables, were evaluated during a follow-up of 3 years from implant restoration. Results: The survival rate of the implants was 100%, with no implant or biologic complications recorded. One prosthetic complication (loosening of 1 screw) was observed. Conclusions: Single extra-short (4 mm) implants in the posterior mandible showed favorable clinical behavior during the first 3-years of follow-up.eng
