Happygma,
I can only assume that he removed the tooth because it somehow was going to interfere with the placement of the dental implant. Did the surgeon know about your TMJ problems and the extensive treatment you had after the accident? Was the wisdom tooth infected? Was there a cyst around the wisdom tooth? Impacted wisdom teeth is a common occurrence and the older we get the more dense the bone become. Did he inform you of the risks associated with the removal of this tooth? The plan was to place a dental implant in the area just in front of this wisdom tooth, correct? How long ago was that molar tooth extracted? The chronic excruciating pain you are describing could be a combination of things associated with your actual TM joint or masseter muscle, mandibular or other branches of nerves... could be osteomyelitis in the bone. Have you had a 3D dental scan done? Routine dental xrays including a panoramic xray are only 2 dimensional and not adequate for the diagnosis of your problem. I'm sorry you are in such pain... further study needs to be done to try and diagnose the root cause of the problem. I would not move forward with a dental implant until this is completely better. I hope this information was helpful. Please let us know how you're doing. Bryanna Quote:
