Abstract:
Ameloblastoma is a benign odontogenic epithelial tumor with high recurrence rate and requires extensive resection of the surrounding tissue and reconstruction of defect site. Because of the anatomical limitation of the reconstruction site, prosthetic treatment with implants is the first recommendation. This is a case of prosthetic restoration of the reconstruction site with implant fixed prosthesis in patient who underwent mandibular resection and iliac bone reconstruction due to ameloblastoma. However 14 months after completion of implant prosthesis, adjacent natural tooth erupted unexpectedly, resulting in 1mm infra-occlusion occurred including posterior implant prosthesis and anterior natural teeth. In adults, implant infra-occlusion may occur due to residual growth after placement of the maxillary anterior implant. But this case, hypo-occlusion of molar implant and open bite of anterior natural teeth is occurred due to extrusion of adjacent tooth, is rare. Thus we report the treatment process including orthodontic treatment with intrusion of the posterior tooth, and investigate the causes of sudden, unexpected tooth extrusion.
