In an edentolous patient or in case of lost teeth because of deep cavities or periodontal disease, there are innovative treatments such as implants with ball-attachment systems, overdentures with bar systems, among others, in which the prominent characteristic is that the patients can remove the prosthesis by themselves. In the case of screwed fixed prosthesis, the aesthetics but above all the function will be affected when the sites where the prosthesis is screwed are on the oclusal side of the teeth. The present report will focus on the use of an overdenture with transmission charge over the bar and implants, which is a good alternative to common clinical procedures.
