Brief summary: The aim of this study was to evaluate clinically and radiographically the splinted short implants' and single short implants' stability and bone condition before and after loading, in atrophic posterior mandibular alveolar ridges.

Detailed description: A prospective study was conducted on 16 Patients with missing posterior molars. Group A: 8 patients had 2 short implants placed in atrophic posterior mandibular alveolar ridge. Group B: 8 patients had a single short implant placed in atrophic posterior mandibular alveolar ridge.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Missing Posterior teeth, indicated for short implant placement.
* Residual alveolar ridge at 6-8 mm height and at least 7mm width.
* Healthy band of keratinized attached mucosa.
* Good Oral hygiene.
* Medically fit patient, free from relevant diseases.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Medically compromised patients.
* Imunnocompromised patients
* Patients with Para-functional habits.
* Smokers
* Poor Oral hygiene.
* Patient refuse to undergo the surgery.
