RESUMEN
AIM: Short implants are manufactured for use in atrophic regions of the jaw. Therefore, the current does not sufficiently reveal a direct correlation between the impact of implant length on implant survival. The purpose of this systematic review was to compile the evidence of short implant survival in atrophied jaws. METHODS: Electronic and manual literature searches were performed by two independent reviewers in several databases, including MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Oral Health Group Trials Register, for articles up to September 2015 using the following terms in some combinations: "short implant", "mandible/atrophied jaws", and "implant survival/ survival rate/ survival analysis". RESULTS: The 19 included studies present in average 5.5 years (range 1.0-20.0 years) follow-up and 96.1% (range 73.4-100.0 percent) survival rate of the short implants in atrophied mandibular. CONCLUSIONS: This systematic review found evidences regarding to safety of short implant placement in atrophied jaws although stronger evidence is essential to confirm this finding.

ABSTRACT: Background: Hyaluronic acid is a treatment option for this deficiency gingival papilla, since it aims to increase tissue volume in the region of loss of interdental papilla, minimally invasive. Aim this study was to describe the application of Hyaluronic acid in a deficient gingival papilla. Case report: Patient presented absence of interdental papilla in the maxillary arch around upper anterior teeth. A comprehensive exam was performed, plus 2D photographs taken with a professional camera coupled to a device for image standardization, and an intraoral scanning with the OMNICAM scanner. Three applications of Hyaluronic acid were performed to fill the black spaces, at an interval of four weeks. The patient was followed-up for three months, and the recovery of papilla was observed. Conclusion: The Hyaluronic acid as gingival filling material can be considered as a treatment option for augmenting interdental papilla in aesthetic area.
