Had only R3/R2/R1/L1/L2/L3. Weak L5 was extracted 2 d. prior to surgery. Implants were supposed to be R4+R6 & L4+L6. However the implant was placed in the place of the extracted L5 - ??? Granules with collagen were used on both sides + plasma on the right side. I was prescribed Erythromycin and told no need to rinse.The pain subsided.However the swelling after 2 days is increasing on both sides. Very painful under chin on the left, swollen under tongue/ligaments(?) on the right side .

Hello and thank you for your question. The best way to answer this would be with an in-person consultation where they can go over your options. There are several steps in creating dental implants. The Provisional (Temporary Crowns) are critical in finalizing the esthetics and look of the final...
A loose screw can be a problem. The screw can break and be difficult to retrieve or the movement of the temporary crown can cause destruction of the bone around the Implant. Have the Implant doctor see you to evaluate.
There are certainly ways to correct this issue. I would call this to the attention of your dentist so they can put a plan in place to correct this issue. Best of luck.
