Abstract

The retention of the total prostheses, specially the mandibular ones, has been one of the main problems that the prosthesis specialists need to solve since their professional practice. In spite of the performance of a depured technique, the solution is not in the hands of professionals. The presence and development of the implantologic therapy and its application for dental prosthesis, has been a solution of paramount acceptance by doctors and patients. The implant supported overdentures constitute a therapeutic tool to solve the problem of prosthesis retention through a reduced number of dental implants. It is presented a case where a totally toothless patient is rehabilitated by means of two jaw implants, describing the applied technique and obtaining an adequate retention of the inferior prosthesis.
