Statement of the Problem: Short implants in patients with bone atrophy in the posterior atrophied maxilla are a viable alternative to bone grafting with a favorable prognosis. The use of short implants in the atrophied maxilla reduces the operating time and costs, making the procedure more accessible to patients. Patients were satisfied with the minimally invasive method of treatment. Background: The study was to evaluate the survival rate of short implants (5-6 mm) functionalized with UV radiation, placed in the posterior segments of the atrophied maxilla. Materials and methods: The study included 47 patients from 2018 to 2023 (aged 27 to 56 years, 24 women and 23 men) without any systemic diseases, with unilateral/bilateral missing teeth and of the vertical atrophy posterior maxillary area. Total installed 64 short UV-functionalized implants and 62 standard implants over 10 mm in length in segments maxilla with sufficient bone parameters. The clinical indices included the following parameters: ISQ, MBL, OHIP-G scale. Results: For short implants, the median ISQ at placement was 62.2 for primary stability and the median ISQ at 5 months was 69.6 ISQ. For standart implant, the mean ISQ at placement was 64.3 ISQ, and ISQ after 5 months was 71.6 ISQ. Аfter 6 months mean MBL short implants 0.87 mm, after 1 year 1.13 mm, after 5 year was 1.48 mm. Аfter 6 months mean MBL standard implants 0.84 mm, after 1 year 1.24 mm, after 5 year was 1.58 mm. Mean OHIP-G scores-patients satisfaction with the implant at 4.8 ± 0.3, satisfaction with the operation 4.6 ± 0.4; satisfaction with prosthetics 4.7 ± 0.5. Cumulative 5-year short implants rates was 96.7%, standard implants was 97.4%, and prosthesis cumulative survival rate was 97.2%. Conclusions: Short ultraviolet functionalized implants used in the posterior resorbed segment of the maxilla reliable alternative to sinus lift, demonstrating fewer complications, reduction in the number of additional surgical interventions and showed satisfactory long-term survival.
