What matters should be paid attention to in dental implant surgery?

Under our advanced awareness of oral health care, we dare to try a very cutting-edge dental restoration technology-dental implants. After paying for the expensive operation, we all hope it will last a lifetime.

However, in many cases, due to the lack of understanding of the matters needing attention after implant restoration, there is no good care, resulting in a series of problems such as gingival inflammation.

If we hope that the dental implant can be used for a long time, the attention of dental implant can not be ignored. For this reason, dental implant experts have made a research summary on some matters that should be paid attention to during and after the operation.

Matters needing attention before implant surgery

1. Hospitals and specialists should be correctly selected for treatment, first of all, hospitals with strong technical strength should be selected; doctors who carry out artificial dental implant surgery must undergo formal training.

2. We should learn about the knowledge and matters needing attention of dental implants from doctors, make clear what kind of effect can be obtained when dental implants are used in the specific situation of missing teeth, and cooperate well with doctors.

Matters needing attention on the day of implantation

1. Do not brush your teeth and use clear water within 24 hours after operation, because frequent mouthwash can lead to gargling and bleeding, but mouthwash can be used after meals, which can prevent the residue of food in the mouth. 1-3 hours after operation, you can eat and drink properly, and the food should not be overheated.

2. Antibiotics were routinely used after operation. For simple implants (small number of implants, short operation time, good recovery), oral antibiotics are given after surgery, and complex implants require intravenous antibiotics to prevent infection.

3. Postoperative patients generally have only mild pain or discomfort and do not need to take painkillers, but if the patient is sensitive or feels local pain, painkillers can be used on the same day after operation. Under normal circumstances, 24 hours after the operation, the patient will no longer have a persistent pain.

Matters needing attention in the second week after implantation

1. Gargle frequently after meals, which can prevent oral infection. Observe the condition of implant and wound at any time, and revisit in time if there are any problems.

2. Avoid eating fibrous food, because fibrous food can cause incision injury. It is recommended to eat soft food or semi-liquid diet, such as porridge, noodles, egg flowers and so on. Matters needing attention one month after implantation

1. Do not eat hard food and tough food, which can prevent the implant from exerting too much force.

2. Quit smoking, drinking and stimulating food. Under the guidance of doctors, calcium preparations should be properly supplemented to increase the intake of high-calcium foods and vitamins.

3. Reduce the movement of the muscles around the operation area, try not to laugh and talk frequently within three months after the operation, so as to prevent the wound from tearing due to excessive movement of the parotid.

4. After dental implant surgery, we must pay more attention to oral care and oral environment protection, develop good oral habits, timely and effective oral cleaning care, to prevent oral infection.

No matter how good the implant is, if you do not take care of the implant restoration, it is difficult to achieve what you expected, so patients should strengthen the restoration of the implant can not only effectively reduce the occurrence of implant problems, but also prolong the life of the implant.
