Is survival of short implants improved with greater implant length , placement in the mandible compared with the maxilla , and in nonsmokers?
The findings from this systematic review are important in that collectively they support consideration of placement of short implants in partially edentulous patients. The estimated data showed a tendency for improved survival rate with increasing implant length, implant placement in the mandible compared with the maxilla, and for implants placed in nonsmokers.
By borrowing information about transcriptional activity of genes within classified operons, we improved the estimation of gene expression levels and the detection of differentially expressed genes.
