I had a flap surgery recently with a bone graft to my lower teeth. My doc said i got 40% bone loss after seeing my OPG. I had no symptoms like swelling or inflammation like in periodontal disease? I wonder how the bone loss occured without symptoms. I had braces 10years ago after pulling 4 teeth up and down. Can i know what caused bone loss in my case? Can periodontal disease be painless?
I had a tooth extraction 6 days ago with a bone graft and permanent type membrane on my lower right molar second from the back. I went in for a follow up yesterday and my dentist says everything looks normal, but since then after a rinse, a flap of skin came loose from my stitches and its just floating around in there still attached, but barely. Is this okay? Will it affect my healing over the membrane? Im just nervous I messed it up and I don't want to have to risk not being able to get my implant.
Bone graph was placed after implant was placed and dentist made a small surgery to place bone graph - afterwards she placed the sutures and the area she cut wont heal or close bback up.. please see attached images. What can I do regarding this gum! please help!! Doctor suggested cutting? or getting a periodontist advice. please let me know what I can do . Thank you .
i had bone graft 12 days ago in my upper jaw. The bums in my front teeth have not healed, they are flapping & I can see my bone. The stitches dissolved so there's nothing holding them shut. Is this normal? Should I wait until they completely close before I eat solids? I dont have pain, just discomfort from my guns flapping. Please advise im very worried
Stitches appear to have dissolved and have very little, if any pain. Area is just a bit tender. Concern is a flap of skin (it almost feels as if it's on a hinge) that I can place tongue under and lift. I also feel particles from time to time that i assume is bone graft material in mouth. I have two days of antibiotics left and dentist told me to return in three months unless problems arrive. Don't think there is any infection but who knows?
Hi, I had a dental bone graft a week ago. I was prescribed mouthwash and pain meds. At three days my stitches holder came out. Today my face is very sore and swollen a little. The Dr. called in a antibiotic for me to start taking. My question is how long does it take for the flap of gum to recede or go away? And is it normal to have such pain at week?
