Rick,
Please refrain from using anything pointy or sharp in the area of the extraction site. A moist cotton q-tip would be the "sharpest" thing to use there Be sure to keep rinsing with warm salt water 3-4 times a day and continue to avoid eating on that side. The white area could be bone graft material or a piece of the membrane. It could also be hard tartar... which does not happen too often. It is best to call the surgeon tomorrow and let him know about this and also mention that the lingual (side near the tongue) is very dark red and inflamed. This may be normal depending on the severity of the initial infection and the surgical technique he used, but it's better to find out for certain. So the tooth had been root canaled previously, okay I thought so based on your description of the extensive bone loss. The additional treatment on the tooth... was that an apicoectomy? Bryanna Quote:

Rick,
Thanks for giving us an update. Good to hear that the surgeon thinks it looks to be healing okay. Hope the site feels better with that membrane out and everything from this point on goes uneventfully Bryanna Quote:

The white film can be fibrin or necrotic-white graft tissue.
If the graft tissue was thick to start with, the superficial layer will slough off but the deep parts will survive. (The most outside portion of the graft would not survive due to lack of blood supply. It becomes necrotic-white and comes out.) |
