I had a bone graft done on 6.7...exactly a week later the sutures and membrane came out. I've been trying to keep the membrane in somewhat by holding it in place with a little piece of gauze, but that only works for so long. Since it's been a week since the procedure and post opp isnt scheduled for another week. Should I just watch the area for pain or try to get back in to see the dentist asap?
Had #18 out 7/5 in AM with graft for tooth that had failed RCT and infection. Started having pain increase yesterday. Controlled with Motrin and Tylenol. The plug fell off 7/6 in the PM, sutures are completely out. Have had a couple of bone granules pop into mouth. Saw my dentist this AM, he didn't seem too concerned. Having me use Peridex BID and started Augmentin 500 TID today. There seems to be nothing covering the hole. Is this ok? There seems to be redness. Pictures provided Thank you!
Had #18 extracted Thurs d/t infection to side of tooth. Dentist removed(had to section it & root was curved), cleaned out cyst, grafted, sutured & placed goopy item: referred to as a membrane (collagen?) Collagen came off at 36 hrs & sutures now coming undone (84 hrs). Dentist told yesterday: peridex BID ordered. Pain in line w/ expectations until today. 650 mg Tylenol: ineffective. 325 mg Tylenol w/ 600 mg of Motrin: better. Going back to dentist tmrw. What should concerns and questions be?
The inside of my mouth and tongue are so sensitive,inflammed and are unable to tolerate the nylon sutures where they have been cut after bone graft surgery 4 days ago. Is it possible to use soft are sutures? And should I use a night guard to cover the area that is so sore. I have cankors in those areas.every time l talk ,eat or move my mouth it hurts where ever the cut sutures are contacting the soft tissue.Would dissolving sutures be adequate for holding the bone marrow in place?
I had an extraction with bone graft on my bottom back molar 4 days ago. I was told that granules of bone would push out. However, I have a fairly large piece of bone pushing out on the side of my gums. It almost looks like it's tearinf my gums away from the sutures. It protrudes out far enough to scratch my tongue.
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 .
6 days ago I had my back molar extracted and a bone graft in preparation for a future dental implant. The sutures are dissolving and it appears the area is opening slightly - a shadowy crease. Over the last few days I have found two small bone pieces (I'm assuming from the graft) in my mouth. I still have a dull ache, but nothing Motrin cannot handle. Should the area be re-stitched? I don't go back for my post-op visit for 5 more days and my antibiotic runs out tomorrow.
