The report describes the rehabilitation of a maxillary arch with limited bone volume in a 67-year-old female taking antiresorptives due to osteopenia. One 10-mm and two extra-short 4-mm implants were inserted, and implant-supported splinted crowns were fabricated. The 5-year follow-up showed stable bone levels, despite poor initial stability (ISQ: 14-51).
