The relationship between dental implants and the r

Dental implant surgery is a common restorative procedure, but it may increase the risk of systemic infection. Oral wounds created during surgery serve as portals for bacteria to enter the blood circulation, leading to an increased risk of systemic infection. This risk is particularly apparent in patients with immune system deficiencies or other systemic diseases.

Although modern medical technology has greatly reduced the risk of infection, after dental implant surgery, it is still necessary to closely observe the wound for any abnormalities, such as redness, swelling, oozing, or pain. If these symptoms occur, you should report it to your doctor immediately so that timely measures can be taken to prevent the development of infection.

Patients need to strictly follow the doctor's care instructions after surgery, including gargling regularly, avoiding irritating foods and drinks, and taking antibiotics on time. These measures can help reduce the number of bacteria in oral wounds and reduce the risk of infection.
