After implanting artificial roots, do not wear temporary dentures before stitches are removed. Wait for 7-10 days to remove stitches and see if they need to be modified before deciding whether to wear them. Within three to six months after the stitches are removed, do not make the artificial root shake and cannot be chewed with it, so that the root will not be loosened, and the newly formed bone and fibrous connective tissue around the root will be affected, thus affecting the effect of the implant. this is a very important issue to ensure the effect of implantation.
