Implant‐retained overdentures have been shown to be a predictable, accepted option and represent a viable and cost‐effective treatment; however, patients with severe lack of bone volume and anatomical limitations are often a contraindication to the placement of osseointegrated implants without prior surgical procedures. In these situations, the placement of angled implants may offer a simple solution. This clinical report describes a case of dental rehabilitation using angled implants for a patient with a severely resorbed edentulous maxilla. The inclination has been solved by making a bar on the right side and individual pillars on the left side so as to obtain a functional and esthetic prosthetic result.
