Now the technology of dental implants is getting better and better. Many people choose to do dental implants.
So when can dental implants be done?
In the past, the limitations of implant dentures were relatively large. With the continuous development of implant dentures, the advantages of implant dentures and the success in long-term clinical practice have expanded the indications of implant dentures.
In the early stage of implant denture, it is mainly used for edentulous patients, and has developed to any missing teeth can be repaired by implant.
Generally 4 months after extraction, the alveolar bone is healed, at which time the implant repair can be done.
It is suitable for the denture retention difficulty caused by various reasons, or the dysfunction caused by the influence of psychological factors and can not be repaired by traditional methods.
At present, whether implant repair can be carried out mainly depends on the patient’s economic situation and the patient’s indication for surgery. Other situations can be solved by various ways.
1. The lack of alveolar bone can be solved by bone grafting.
2. The problem of maxillary sinus and mandibular canal can be implanted under the guidance of X-ray film and CT, and spiral CT can guide the direction more accurately.
Choose the appropriate implant length, and accurate implantation Angle.
3. Implant immediately after extraction.
4. For patients with insufficient economic conditions, overdenture repair can be used.
5. Jaw defects, facial tissue and organ defects can also be repaired by implantation.
Clear the timing of dental implantation, postoperative precautions should also be understood.
So, implant surgery to pay attention to what?
Do not immediately brush your teeth and use water within 24 hours after gargling. Excessive frequency of gargling can lead to gargling and bleeding. However, gargling with mouthwash can be used after meals to prevent food residue in the mouth.
Antibiotics are routinely used after oral antibiotics.
For simple implant surgery (small number of implants, short operation time, and good recovery), oral antibiotics are given postoperatively. For complex implant surgery, intravenous antibiotics are required to prevent infection.
Postoperative discomfort Due to the different constitution of the patients and the operation process, there may be different degrees of surgical reaction, some patients have mild reaction or no reaction discomfort, some will appear local edema and ecchymosis, generally lasting about 3-5 days.
Postoperative pain postoperative patients generally have only slight pain or discomfort, do not need to take painkillers, but if the patient is sensitive or feels local pain, the day after surgery can be added with painkillers, if under normal circumstances, 24 hours after surgery, the patient will no longer have a persistent pain feeling.
Routine suture removal 7-10 days after surgery, timely suture removal can prevent local infection.
