According to the literature short dental implants have often been used for the replacement of teeth in the daily praxis. The implantation of short dental implants raise a lot of questions. The autors's aim is to collect the most important experiences of current literature on the mentioned theme to oral implantologists. In the article 33 reviews and clinical studies have been overviewed. The analysis of the different studies suggest that the use of short implants--taking into account of indications and contraindications--decreases the incidence of complications and the patient's discomfort as well as the cost of treatment. The use of short dental implants is proposed as an alternative method in the daily dental praxis.
