Resumen

Restorations supported by implants provide considerable advantages when compared with removable partial dentures, in terms of support, stability of occlusion, bone preservation, comfort, improved function and lower biological cost considering that the procedures on the remaining dentition do not have an invasive character. To date scientific evidence has not clearly established the number, length, diameter and location of implants in order to restore posterior areas. However, proposed recommendations in some cases result from clinical experience and common sense based on conventional prostheses. Despite the wide variety of prosthetic alternatives in the posterior areas there is a lack of evidence-based studies to guide the clinician in the best decision.
