I n 1892, Julius Wolff, a German surgeon, pub- lished his seminal obser- vation that bone changes its external shape and internal, cancellous architecture in re- sponse to stresses acting on it (Wolff’s law of bone model- ling and remodelling). There- fore, it is a significant engi- neering challenge to design a short implant that biocompat- ibly transfers occlusal forces from its prosthetic restora- tion to the surrounding bone. It requires the understanding and application of many basic biological, mechanical, and metallurgical principles. It is paramount that the entire design of a SHORT™ implant optimises the effectiveness of each of its features within the implant’s available sur- face area and length. Clini- cal success cannot be met by any single implant design feature such as surface area, but rather requires the appro- priate integration of all of its features. Since an implant’s design dictates its clinical and me- chanical capabilities, it is scientifically approved that bone healing around a pla- teau-designed implant is dif- ferent than the appositional bone (the bone that is formed by osteoblasts after cell medi- ated interfacial remodelling) around threaded implants. The plateaued, tapered and root-formed implant body provides for 30 per cent more surface area than compara- bly-sized threaded implants. But more importantly, the plateaus provide for an intra- membranous-like and faster bone formation (20–50 mi- crons per day), resulting in a unique Haversian bone with clinical capabilities different from the slower forming (1–3 microns per day) of apposi- tional bone around threaded implants.1,2 Additionally, the plateaus provide for the trans- fer of compressive forces to the bone throughout the en- tire implant.3,4 Description We analysed the most time- Time proven clinical success of the SHORT™ implant Prof Dr Mauro Marincola, MDS Angelo Paolo Perpetuini, Dr Stefano Carelli, Prof G.
