Patients who for a long period of time suffer from total edentulism, a bone resorption of the jaws is generated despite using conventional mucosal supported dentures, for this reason, when the clinical case allows it, a plan should be made to perform a retained overdenture with implants, to stop bone loss with the placement of dental implants, as well as, increasing retention by means of the mechanical anchors produced by implants splinted with a bar, in addition to favoring phonetics, good salivary control and especially safety when chewing to properly grind food. A clinical case is presented of an adult patient who lost his upper teeth in a car accident and who needs chewing efficiency and a lot of security when speaking for the profession he performs, the placement of 4 splinted implants with a bar made of type IV gold. The results obtained were satisfactory for the patient, since it was achieved that the prosthesis was excellently retained which gives it security, the chewing capacity, retention, stability and support are improved, which allows the patient to feel comfortable with her rehabilitation to perform her work and social activity without problems. Therefore, oral implantology strengthens the different rehabilitation techniques in a predictable and successful way in the treatment of patients with partial and total edentulism.
