Hanam City Hall Dental Clinic: After root canal treatment and tooth extraction, I got an implant.

Hello~

This is Director Yoon Tae-ho of Seoul Vardi Dental Clinic.

When you think about the end of dental treatment, it is an implant.

There are various criteria for extraction, but

in most cases, if a tooth has already undergone root canal treatment, you can think of it as having been treated as much as possible.

Hanam City Hall Dental Clinic: After root canal treatment and tooth extraction, I got an implant.

Today’s patient also had a problem with a previously treated tooth,

so we proceeded with extraction!

Shall we take a look together~?

Reason for visit: My gums keep swelling on both sides

230320

This is a man in his 50s who visited Hanam City Hall Dental Clinic.

He said that his gums kept swelling from time to time.

After examining with an X-ray,

the gum bone had generally receded.

In particular, the molar areas on both sides of the upper teeth had receded a lot,

230320

The condition of the two upper right molars is very poor.

There is pus around the root,

so it looks darker than the surrounding area because a lot of the gum bone has dissolved.

230320

Since there is no way for the abscess to drain,

it bulges out of the gums~

It had swollen like a pimple.

230320

As always..

the patient asked if there was any way to save it.

When a tooth that has had root canal treatment develops a problem,

there are only a few options.

Especially if it is a molar?

And the gums are not in good condition?

It has to be extracted.

(If it is a front tooth, there is at least a chance to try to save it.)

Even on the CT scan, the bone had dissolved too much,

so we recommended extraction.

If we left it longer, the swelling would keep recurring,

and the gum bone would continue to dissolve.

Since it was an upper molar with weak bone...

we performed the first bone graft at the same time as extraction.

Even when bone is grafted at this time, only about 8 out of 10 remains,

and the rest is absorbed.

For implant surgery,

we filled the bone as fully as possible

and checked again after 4 months.

The bone-grafted area looks good~

However, in order to proceed with implant surgery,

it is safest to wait 6 months.

The quality of the bone in the upper jaw is weak,

with a sparse, scattered structure~

If we force it too early,

it increases the chance of implant reoperation

and may cause maxillary sinus inflammation

or other complications..

230915

After the first bone graft following extraction,

we performed implant surgery after 6 months had passed.

We opened the gums and checked the condition,

and the bone quality was poor.

Even after waiting 6 months after the bone graft.

If treatment had been received earlier,

before the problem became more serious,

we could have shortened the treatment period...

With a bit of regret,

we placed the implant, added and grafted more bone where it was lacking,

and waited about 3 more months.

We used an oral scanner to make the prosthesis.

Since all the teeth in the full mouth are scanned,

it is possible to compare the left and right teeth,

and

the relationship of the upper molars can be captured more precisely than with rubber impression material~

It was completed after about 9 months.

The patient said they were tired of it taking so long ㅠㅠ

If you visit Hanam City Hall Dental Clinic every 6 months,

there won’t be any treatments that take a long time.

After educating them that maintenance is important, we scheduled regular checkups.

Quick treatment is by no means the best treatment method.

If you want treatment to be done quickly and in a short period of time,

visit the hospital as soon as you notice a problem!

If you receive treatment early, there is not much to treat.

But if you feel symptoms and then visit later,

if you brush it off thinking it hurt and then got better...

recurrence and healing repeat...

so the condition gets worse ^^
