Table 1. Summary of Key Factors Influencing the Success of Short Dental Implants.

Factors	Description and impaction
Implant diameter and length	Increasing implant diameter improves stress distribution by osseointegrating with surrounding cortical plates and increasing the surface area of contact [17].
Implant number	Increasing the number of implants helps decrease stress on surrounding bone, improving stability and reducing risks [21].
Stress distribution	the amount of stress distributed in the crestal bone around the short and long implants was evaluated and there was no difference between them after loading the prostheses [27].
Marginal bone loss	Preservation of marginal bone around the implant neck is crucial. Marginal bone loss (MBL) for short implants was significantly lower than for conventional implants after 3 years of functioning [30].
Implant design	Increasing thread numbers and using a deeper thread design enhances the implant-bone contact area, leading to better osseointegration [32].
Loading strategies	Conventional loading protocols are safer, especially in low bone quality cases, compared to early loading strategies [39,40] .
