What I want to say is that the loss of abutment of dental implant must be an unpleasant experience, but when we encounter this kind of problem, we should first calm down and not be too alarmed. The loss of abutment of dental implant does not necessarily mean that the operation failed, nor does it necessarily require reoperation. How to deal with this problem depends on the specific situation of abutment falling.
If the abutment falls off early, for example, soon after operation, it is best to contact the doctor for a follow-up visit as soon as possible. The doctor will reinstall the abutment and make necessary fixation according to the situation. If it falls late, for example, after several years, it needs to be handled more carefully. On the one hand, we need to carry out a comprehensive oral examination to check the tissue and alveolar bone around the dental implant. On the other hand, we need to know the specific reason for the fall, whether it is the quality problem of abutment itself or improper use.
If the abutment falls off due to manufacturing problems or material problems, it may be necessary to replace the abutment or re-manufacture the implant. If it is caused by improper use, it is necessary to strengthen the maintenance of oral hygiene, change bad chewing habits and avoid eating hard food.
In any case, the falling abutment should be handled as soon as possible. Because the maintenance of dental implants requires good oral hygiene, if the abutment falls off and is not treated in time, it may lead to periodontal disease and even affect the service life of dental implants.
What I want to say is that dental implants are an effective way to repair teeth, but they also need our careful maintenance. We should have regular oral examinations, maintain oral hygiene, avoid eating hard food, and try to avoid smoking and drinking. Only in this way can the service life of dental implants be longer and our oral health be better guaranteed.
If you are considering dental implant surgery, I suggest you choose a regular dental hospital and an experienced doctor for surgery. At the same time, maintenance must be carried out according to the doctor's advice after operation. In this way, even if the abutment falls off, it can be handled correctly in time.
It is not terrible that the abutment of dental implant falls off. The key is to deal with it in time. When dealing with this problem, we need to consider many factors, including the specific situation of falling, the quality of abutment, usage habits and so on. Only by fully understanding the situation can we make the right decision. I hope my sharing can help you!
