Operation and Possible Complications
This video is discussing the process of placing a dental implant and the potential complications that can arise during or after the procedure. The procedure involves extracting the infected root, using a surgical guide to place the dental implant at the correct angle and height, covering the implant with bone graft and membrane to encourage new bone growth, and eventually covering the implant with a crown to make it look and function like a natural tooth.
The most common complications associated with implant surgery are bleeding and neurosensory disturbance, but other potential complications include mandibular fractures, marginal bone loss, and soft tissue infections. Professor Eisner Salamanca also mentions the importance of proper care and cleaning to prevent peri-implant complications.
