Dental Implants and Sculptra Risks.

Question

Im 36 & healthy. I have 4 vials of sculptra in my cheeks. 2 are 2yrs old and 2 are 1yr old. I'm replacing a root canal tooth with a dental implant & I will need a minor sinus surgery with bovine bone placement. The tooth is the last top tooth. Could this surgery disrupt/infect my sulptra? Also is there a high succes rate in this location assuming I've selected a qualified provider? I've had trouble finding data on the risk of infection as well. I will be taking an antiobiotic.

This will be an extremely rare case that I have not come across before whereas dental filler area might be affected by a dental implant procedure including a sinus lift though of course a possibility of an infection always exists. Plus considering the time that has elapsed since you had your Sculptra injections done all of that filler has been resorbed and replaced by your own collagen tissue. So no worries and good luck !!!

its difficult to say anything on this because no study published on effect of sculptra on dental implant.

The sculptra should not be affected by the bone replacement procedure nor the implant to replace the missing tooth.
