Implantation is a science with a rapid development in past years offering possibility
of to solve problems of people. A continue scientific and technical research made
oral implantation be every day more accepted, since some work decades have turn
implants  into the best present choice. Aim of present paper is to describe the
different types of prosthetic rehabilitation on implants in total edentulous which
allow showing some of implantation possibilities in solving of retention, support,
and stability problems in total edentulous patients with much reabsorbed edges,
very difficult to restore by means of conventional techniques. We conclude that
overdentures retained by bars and spheres, as well as implant- supported fixed
bridges, are ideals to solve these problems, offering also comfort, functional
