Crying makes a chronic pain condition worse. No one can help you but yourself at this point. If you think it all needs to come out? Call the dentist who put it in and tell them to take it out!

Cleo,
I'm sure Angels knows that she has to help herself and she would do that if she felt more confident in going in one direction over another. Angels has posted that the oral surgeon that placed the implant scared her into doing it. He also has not been forthcoming with any findings on her panoramic xrays or scans both prior and after the surgeries. He has also repetitively dismissed her ongoing symptoms of ill health. Perhaps he is not the one she should continue to rely on for her dental care. Also, you may not know this but it is not that simple to just go to the surgeon and say.. take this implant out. The surgeon legally has to agree that there are reasons beyond any doubt to remove it. If he doesn't agree and something goes wrong or something unexpected occurs after the surgery, he can be sued big time for performing surgery that he did not think was warranted. Bryanna

Angels,
In my PM to you I've asked you to check back here as I would attach a diagram of the anatomy of a tooth. The dentin tubules.... which are many many hundreds of microscopic canals.... are depicted in this diagram. Bryanna

I know I am going to need to get this implant taken out regardless. My left ear is ringing so bad now and I can't hear out of it very well. What worries me is if they take it out can that affect the trigeminal nerve? In looking at pictures it doesn't seem like it is anywhere near tooth 14. Tomorrow I have the MRI. I am praying that it sees something. When I zoom in on the tooth I can't see it anymore. Also, how is a bone infection detected? |

Angels,
Removing the implant would only be a part of the remedy, but not the cure. First the proliferation of the infection and bone deterioration of your upper left maxillary arch and sinus, needs to be determined as best as possible before any oral surgery is done. Otherwise, the surgery will be incomplete. The proliferation of the systemic infection, meaning in your blood system, needs to be evaluated with specific blood tests prescribed by a knowledgeable practitioner (perhaps infection disease specialist) who knows what key markers to look for in the blood. A culture of the findings is also very helpful to determine the proper antibiotic(s) to use. This is not just a routine blood test. A planned surgical approach to remove the implant and debride the areas of infection from the bone and sinus is then presented and executed in conjunction with the administration of the proper medication. Jaw bone infection is determined by several things. The more pronounce the infection the easier it is to pick up. It can often be seen radio graphically on some 2 and usually 3 dimensional xrays, 3D CT Scans, some MRI's, bone scans, and when a surgeon goes in to extract a tooth or place a dental implant the infected bone has an odor that is hard to miss ... it can usually be seen and/or felt with surgical instruments as the infected bone is not solid or the same color as healthy bone. The trigeminal nerve has many sensory branches which feed into other nerve bundles throughout the head, face and neck. Each tooth in the mouth is intimately connected to sensory nerves that stem off of the trigeminal nerve. Residual infection in the jaw bone of extracted 14 and 15 and/or in the sinus of same area ... in addition to the dental implant in 14 site could easily be irritating and inflaming the sensory nerves of the TN that affect the ear, thus the ringing in your ear, etc. Bryanna Quote:

Angels,
You do have an infection and it needs to be properly diagnosed. You cannot go on much longer like this without further problems developing. I hope the MRI is diagnostic of that area. However, I would not solely rely on the opinion of your oral surgeon or the ENT because they have both be dismissal and non informative in the past. I hope your puppy is okay... how scary!! Please keep in touch here.... Bryanna Quote:
