Background: Implant stability is influenced by a combination of surface topography and macroscopic levels of implant design. In reduced bone height situations, short implants are often considered a viable alternative to long implants, which often require additional augmentation procedures. The objective of this finite element study was to evaluate the peri-implant Von Mises stresses, strains and micro movements distribution in D2 bone quality around short implants of 6mm length with varying diameters of 4mm, 5mm and 6mm and different thread designs under immediate loading
