RESUMEN
Prosthetic management of partial edentulism can be challenging with the presence of limited interocclusal space. The extrusion of opposing teeth combined with the alveolar extrusion of the edentulous areas reduces the space needed for fabricating a removable or fixed prosthesis when edentulous areas are present in the maxilla. This clinical report describes the treatment provided to a patient who presented with a limited interocclusal space on the posterior right quadrant. Before prosthetic rehabilitation, mandibular right posterior teeth were intruded, and the maxillary right posterior alveolar crest was reduced by alveoloplasty. After gaining adequate space, prosthetic rehabilitation was completed with a maxillary removable partial denture. During the 2-year follow-up period, the patient's chewing functions and physical appearance improved, and no complications occurred.

The development of more sophisticated implant techniques to produce satisfying results improves the precise planning of both the surgical phase of the implantation and the following prosthetic rehabilitation. Ball and bar attachments are the main retainer systems for implant-bearing overdentures to achieve a successful treatment in the partial or full edentulism. In this clinical report, a 23-year-old male patient, presented with a large traumatic defect in the anterior mandible, was treated with ITI implant and ITI Dolder bar combinations. The reason to prefer this kind of treatment depends on the highest retention capacity and cleaning facilities of the system.
