    Area of Science:

    • Dentistry
    • Oral Surgery
    • Bone Biology

    Background:

    • Bone remodeling is a complex biological process.
    • Edentulism in the posterior mandible often requires prosthetic rehabilitation.
    • Pontic designs vary in material and form.

    Observation:

    • Nine adult patients exhibited unexpected osseous proliferation beneath pontics.
    • This phenomenon occurred exclusively in the posterior mandibular region.
    • The condition was observed across diverse pontic designs.

    Findings:

    • Subpontic osseous proliferation is a documented condition.
    • Etiology remains multifactorial, potentially involving genetic, functional, and irritational factors.
    • The condition exclusively affects adults in the posterior mandible.

    Implications:

    • Significant clinical implications for prosthetic restoration and implantology.
    • Provides insights into bone adaptation and growth mechanisms.
    • Highlights the need for further research into the etiology and management of subpontic bone growth.
