[Post-operative care of dental implants] Post-secondary health guidance Patients with missing teeth can have stable and healthy teeth after the second-stage surgery. The editor can appreciate everyone’s joy, but I have to remind:
Nursing after the second-stage operation is extremely critical and must be taken seriously! The second surgery for dental implants (second-stage surgery) is performed after 4-6 months of osseointegration between the implant and the jaw (more than 6 months for the upper jaw and more than 4 months for the lower jaw). The surgical instrument makes a small incision on the gingiva corresponding to the implanted implant, and after exposing the upper end of the implant, the gingival foundation post is installed, and the implant to be implanted in the jaw is pierced out of the gingiva. Health guidance after the second stage of implantation
1. It is normal for some bleeding or a little pain in the operation area within 24 hours after the second-stage operation. During this period, try to spit as little as possible. When the bleeding is serious, you can tighten the cotton gauze at the wound to stop the bleeding.
2. You can enter food but do not overheat. It should be diluted, warm and cool to avoid chewing in the surgical area.
3. Maintain oral hygiene, especially the cleaning around the metal screw cap. Use cotton swabs or soft brushes to gently remove food residues and soft scales after eating, but do not scrub vigorously with a toothbrush, otherwise the healing abutment will be loosened. fall off.
4. The obvious metal screw cap (healing abutment) can be seen in the mouth. If you feel that the screw cap above is a little loose or falls off, don’t be nervous and contact us in time. The editor has said that dental implants are an extremely rigorous and delicate oral surgery, which has extremely high requirements for preoperative and postoperative preparation and care. Please pay attention to the points just introduced, and do it well before the operation to ensure the smooth operation of the operation.
