This question is more than six months old, so the information in the answer may no longer be accurate.
Visitor asks:
I would like to know whether it is normal for swelling to occur after artificial bone (granules) has been placed in the jaw, with the swelling being worst on the third day (which is today). I am very swollen and have bruising under my eye, which is already almost closing it. I should add that because of peri-implantitis the oral surgeon had to remove 2 implants that I had had for 16 years; because they had damaged the bone, artificial bone had to be added.
Thank you for replying to my personal email.
Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:
Dear Sir/Madam!
After the surgical procedure you describe, the signs you mention are very common, if not almost the rule. On the third to fourth day the clinical picture is usually most pronounced, after which the symptoms slowly begin to disappear.
Have a nice day!
