The standard length of dental implants is 10mm, which is a length that can be applied to the vast majority of populations based on the data of the oral database. However, in practice, you still need to see the tooth to determine the specific length of your tooth root in order to determine the final implant length. Our principle when performing dental implants is to keep the total length of the "implant + abutment" as close to the length of your natural tooth root as possible.
In addition to the length of the pile, the implant design should also take into account many factors such as diameter, morphology, compatibility with the crown structure, and material properties. The diameter of the pile affects the retention effect and the effect of the opposing force. The surrounding root canal wall should be at least 1mm thick, neither too thin nor too thick. Too thick will cause the root canal wall to become thinner and easy to break; Too thin not only lacks stability, but also tends to bend or break when stressed.
Ideally, the diameter of the pile should be 1 3 of the diameter of the root, and the morphological resemblance to the appearance of the natural tooth is preferred. The height at which the crown margin wraps around the remaining tooth tissue should not be less than 15mm, dentin thickness is not less than 1mm. Material properties refer to the process of spraying on the implant surface with hydrophilic or non-hydrophilic spraying characteristics. In short, natural teeth and implants are looking for a perfect fit for each other, as much as possible.
A short implant with a length of 6 mm is also available on the market. This product is primarily designed to be used when there is very limited bone mass in the surgical area or when critical anatomical structures need to be avoided. However, due to problems such as bone resorption, your doctor may prefer to recommend a normal-sized implant if the oral conditions allow for a regular implant.
