Abstract

White sponge nevus (WSN) is a rare, benign, autosomal dominant disorder of the mucous membranes. Typical oral lesions are white or gray, diffuse and irregular plaques with a spongy texture involving the buccal mucosa, ventral tongue, labial mucosa, and floor of the mouth. This clinical report describes the prosthetic rehabilitation of two oral WSN cases with implant-supported metal-ceramic fixed prostheses and the treatment outcomes regarding osseointegration, preservation of the alveolar bone, and soft tissue health over a period of 4 years. Relevance of treatment planning and associated complications of surgical and prosthetic procedures in such a rare oral mucosal lesion are emphasized.
