Short and ultra-short implants / by D. Deporter
Quintessence Publishing, Inc., 2018.

"This book is the most comprehensive presentation to date on the use of short and ultra-short implants, and it will give dentists a better understanding of their appropriate application in solving clinical situations from restoring a single tooth to fully edentulous cases. As evidence-based approach in the early chapters of the book sheds light on the long-term performance of various short and ultra-short implant designs, attempting to address concerns of more conservative clinicians who-from personal experience or the opinion of others-feel that such implants are more likely to fail than implants of standard lengths."
