Overview: It usually occurs in elderly individuals who wear dentures, but it can develop from simple overlapping of the upper lip and chin due to atrophy of the dental alveoli or dental arch in older patients, creating an environment favorable to microbial opportunism (Candida albicans, staphylococci, streptococci). It can present in children who have the habit of sucking their fingers or lollipops.

In class I (purely maxillary with no oroantral fistula) and class II (maxillary, extending into the nasal cavity) defects, obturation is a reasonable option. Obturation becomes a progressively less favourable option with orbital adnexal involvement (class III), orbital exenteration (class IV), orbitomaxillary (class V) or nasomaxillary (class VI) defects. In class V and VI defects, the palate and dental alveolus are often intact. Classes I–VI mainly describe the vertical component of the maxillectomy defect, while classes a–d describe the dental/alveolar and palatal components, which also represent increasing difficulty of defect obturation.

This is an adaption of the oral mucosa to increased trauma and results in a white thickening of the mucosal surface which often appears to be ‘on top of’ the existing mucosa. One common area where this can be seen is the area of the dental alveolus in a patient with missing teeth. This mucosa has increased trauma from food rubbing; an area previously protected by the teeth. The keratosis develops as a reactive change over time to reduce damage to the mucosal surface.

For the dental implant, the procedure was simpler, since the implant consists of a screw that is introduced in the bone once the dental alveolus is naturally occupied again with new bone tissue. To virtually reproduce this process, the socket in the mandibular bone that corresponds to the dental piece 36 was filled with cortical bone. The roots of the piece were cut and the remaining part was used as a model for the ceramic crown for the implant. The screw of the prosthesis was placed in the bone by overlapping it to the models.

Abnormal postoperative inflammation of the dental alveolus, known as ‘alveolar osteitis’ (AO), is a relatively common complication after third molar surgery. AO may occur after all types of dental extraction but is more often associated with third molar surgery. The prevalence of AO after third molar surgery ranges from 1 to 37.5% [1–3].
