\n\t Numbness after dental implantation, swelling, pain, bleeding gums – perfectly normal phenomena of surgical interventions as long as they do not last longer than the prescribed period. The presence of such symptoms for more than 7-10 days<\/i> should be alarming, and become a reason to visit a doctor.<\/p>\n

\n\t And if numbness does not go away after implantation on the upper jaw or lower jaw after 5 hours – it is better to call the doctor who performed the surgery.<\/p>\n

Why numbness can occur in different parts<\/h2>\n

\n\t In order that the patient does not feel pain during implantation (as with tooth extraction or any other operation), local anesthesia is made. An injection with a special agent that numbs the tissue in the area of future surgical intervention. Usually paresthesia lasts 3-5 hours<\/i>, if sensitivity begins to return, the anesthesiologist may decide to add some more of the drug. If the numbness of teeth after implantation lasts more than 5-6 hours<\/i>, it may be a complication.<\/p>\n

\n\t Reasons why numbness after implant placement does not go away:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \npoor-quality anesthesia<\/b>: bad drug, incorrectly selected dose, traumatization of the nerve during the introduction of the drug, incompetence of the anesthesiologist;<\/li>\n
  2. \nnerve compression<\/b> due to incorrect implant or implant site. A pin that is too long can pinch, pinch the nerve;<\/li>\n
  3. numbness of the lower jaw after implantation due to damage to the trigeminal facial nerve<\/b>, which runs in that area, while screwing in the artificial root or working with a drill to prepare the hole.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    What is normal<\/h2>\n

    \n\t Numbness during implantation is an integral part of the entire procedure. It is comfortable for the doctor to work in this way, because the patient feels nothing, is calm and does not make sudden movements, he does not worry about anything. The implantologist can operate as usual. Therefore, the anesthesiologist’s task is to select the drug so that after its administration in a few minutes the sensitivity of the prepared area disappeared.<\/p>\n

    \n\t Numbness after dental implantation for up to 5 hours<\/i> is predictable, is normal and should not cause concern in a<\/i> person.<\/p>\n

    How to understand the cause and diagnose the complication<\/h2>\n

    \n\t If you feel too long numbness of the gum after implantation, jaw, cheek, go to the dental clinic for a consultation. After visual inspection, X-ray diagnosis, Dopplerography of the vessels of the jaw, the cause of paresthesia will be clear: there was a clamping or serious nerve damage.<\/p>\n

    \n \"mandibular<\/p>\n

    \n\t Symptoms associated with the complication may be as follows:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • numbness after dental implantation is too long, goes beyond the boundaries of the time period voiced by the doctor;<\/li>\n
    • mild tingling and burning of soft tissues;<\/li>\n
    • swallowing difficulties;<\/li>\n
    • abnormal facial expressions, unable to control them;<\/li>\n
    • increased salivation;<\/li>\n
    • painful sensations;<\/li>\n
    • nasal congestion.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      \n\t If numbness of the lip after implantation on the lower jaw does not go away and sensitivity does not return after 6 hours, it may indicate damage to the mandibular facial nerve.<\/p>\n

      \n\t The doctor will note the condition of the nerves, the proximity of the implant to the nerve, and the extent of the damage on the X-ray photograph:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • \nNeuropraxia<\/b> – a mild degree of complication, sensitivity is absent for only about one day or less. Depends on the individual peculiarities of the patient’s body;<\/li>\n
      • \naxonotmesis<\/b> – possible numbness of the chin after implantation of teeth or gums for a month. Nerve cells need to regenerate. After regeneration, sensitivity is often less than before;<\/li>\n
      • \nneurotmesis<\/b> – severe damage to nerve tissue, its integrity is compromised. Several months are needed for recovery.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
