Post-Operative Pain from Implant Case: How to Proceed
I placed an Ankylos B8 4.5×8mm implant in #8 area [maxillary right central incisor; 11] 5 days ago. The tooth was extracted atraumatically 2 weeks before that and the primary soft tissue closure was achieved. The implant was placed in a subcrestal position on the lingual, mesial and distal sides and equicrestal on the buccal. Immediately after the anesthetic wore off, the patient complained of severe pain not controlled by ibuprofen 800mg. I then prescribed paracetamol with codeine and the pain was controlled. I had also prescribed azithromycin 500mg and the patient is continuing that until today. (Source: Dental Implants Discussed by Experts)
