Avatar f tn They want to extract this tooth next week and do an imedicate implant. I am very concerend that implanting this area at the same time of extraction with an abcess will cause worse problems. I am a heart patient and concerend. Should I be? The DDS (Oral surgeon) said once the tooth is gone..the infection is gone also., Is this true? I am on Augmentin 875 and this has not touched the pain or infection. Thank You so much for helping me with this.
Avatar m tn From the x-ray of my implant, I found that my implant is too close to tooth #9 and the bone in between my implant and tooth #9 not grow much to integrate with the implant. I could also see the implant through my front gum, the gray color show off. I deeply worried and began to consult with some oral surgeons and some implant specialist. When they see the x-ray, all their first reaction is: This implant is not good. So, I took a CT Scan to see the implant 3-dimension.
Avatar m tn Probably a CT scan.
Avatar n tn The my jaw did not heal correctly, because there were bone fragments and pus were the first tooth was removed, and implant. The second implant was pinching into my jaw and they was a notch there, and this implant was remove. Now I have a large ulceration above my right eye tooth to my jawline and there is a hard are near my right nostril you can palpate hard area my face. I am noticing clear drainage leaking out of my right nostril, and this area feels different from the left side.

Avatar m tn They may need to take an x-ray or CT scan to verify the position of the implant just in case. The area should heal on its own though but its hard for me to tell at this point.
Avatar f tn I'm a 60-year-old female whoI had a dental implant done three weeks ago, after my tooth broke. I think it's tooth #29. Since then, I haven't been able to feel my jaw, lower right teeth, or lip. Making things worse is the pain I feel when I try to smile or if I move my mouth wrong. The pain is in my right ear, jaw, and inside my cheek. I find it difficult not chewing on my the inside of mouth when eating. At night, I have a throbbing pain to the tooth next to the implant.

Avatar m tn I am in my mid 40's and currently have a full denture on top however my lower set of teeth I only have 7 left, I'm missing 30,31,32, 17,18,19,20 26, 28. Existing teeth are healthy and only discolored due to 25 years of smoking and coffee. I don't smoke anymore but do drink coffee. I've seen several no good dentist which seem to only want to extract $ from my pocket and do par work in my opinion.
Avatar m tn Now I feel a bit odd about mentioning it again. The implant is $3800. I also had a CT scan, $400, of it along with some appointment fees related to it. My insurance will pay less than half the cost of the implant. If I add up all this tooth has cost me over the years I am sure I will faint. It had already had two crowns.
Avatar n tn m back at Step 3 but I decided to do the implant thing. So the first part was to remove the tooth and add a bone graft to replace bone that came out when the tooth was removed. That hurt, and hurt and hurt for almost a month. It was swollen, painful to touch, my face and area under the jaw bone was visibly swollen, headache and earache. I was on more pain killers than ever in my life (I have had babies, back pain and prior surgeries).
Avatar n tn I recently had a CT scan done to try to find the cause of chronic migraines. The neurologist and my primary care doctor both said there is nothing remarkable about the CT scans. For the past couple months i have been having the strangest symptoms: Sharp pain in neck right side, and in lower abdomen. Pain 3 inches behind my cochlear implant. Severe disorientation. Muscle twitching, legs arms. Severe memory loss.
Avatar n tn Long story - had a very traumatic tooth #14 extraction, resulted in dry socket, bits of bone and tooth left in the gum. Had those bits removed by a second dentist. Then waited months for bone to 'fill in' (no bone graft). Following that, had the implant put in, and while waiting for that to take, the screw worked itself out - had to replace that. Continued to have inexplicable pain - throbbing, aching - had the implant removed 5 months later.
Avatar n tn The problem is that the bracket recently broke off and I am getting sick of wearing braces in college. My ortodontist wants me to go get another surgery done and continue with the process of lowering the tooth. I was wondering if it would be possible to find an oral surgeon who would put an implant canine in the open space so that I would not need to continue with the tedious process of bringing the tooth wearing the braces, which could take up to an additional 3 years.
Avatar m tn or a neurologist and get a order for a mri this was thursday i called my doctors office the next morning and they said that since i just had the ct scan of head that there is no use in following up right now but im in severe pain and dunno what to do i do have a bad tooth on left side bottom of my mouth very last tooth not sure what is causing my severe head pain? could the ct scan have missed something?
Avatar n tn I get cluster headaches EVERY day & migraines at least 2-3 times a week. I can't have an mri because of an implant,so I'm going for a ct scan. One year ago they were only "tension" headaches & now they are blinding. My neurologist gave up & said "just migraines" not to treat them any more because of 1 missed payment & dismissed me. Another doctor found the clusters & put me on oxygen, but they come back soon after I stop.
1187318 tn?1266384482 I just had a CT Scan after finishing 3 rounds of Carbo/Taxol for stage II ovca. My physician called me with the results. He said everything looked good...except for a small fluid collection where my right ovary was. He didn't seem concerned and said we'd repeat the CT in 6 months. After speaking with him...I had his office fax me over a copy of the report. It reads as follows....
Avatar m tn Try to find an oral surgeon with a CT scan so they can do a 3D scan of your jaw to see precisely where the tooth is in relation to the nerve. That'll give you a better idea of your risk for nerve damage. It probably won't turn to cancer though.
Avatar m tn I have one tooth severely losen and had it extracted. I expect to have an implant some time later. At the time of extraction, the dentist told me I need have bone graft and it should be done at the time of tooth extractio or at least within two weeks after the extraction. But I did not follow his advice and just simply had the tooth extracted. My question is if I am to have an implant later, can I still have bone graft at that time?
Avatar m tn With cath, the cardiologist can do a stent implant during the procedure. With a CT scan, there is a possibility of stent implant cath procedure subsequently. If your wife has symptoms that can't be managed with medication, then the cath procedure would be appropriate. Thanks for sharing, and if you have any further questions you are welcome to post. Take care.
Avatar f tn How necessary is it to have a CT head scan for having one possible simple partial seizure two months ago? I saw a neurologist who suggested I have the scan, but he did admit another neurologist might have said it was okay to wait and see if it happened again. He left the decision up to me. I'm worried about the x-rays of a CT scan, having had plenty of x-rays for other procedures in the past. If I have another seizure or whatever it was, I would definitely have a scan.
Avatar n tn Port a cath is seen on the right side.Previous right mastectomy and right breast implant are noted.A spiculated density is seen in the left apex, which is mostly linear and this represents a scar, rather than a mass.Aleft suphrahilar soft tissue mass is seen,measuring 1.3x1.7cm.This of cystic density and could represent an incidental cyst or cystic necrosis of a node.
Avatar n tn He now suggests the pain is due to nerves that possibly were associated with the tooth but not corrected during the root canal. Any ideas/suggestions? Also, would a CT scan show malignancy? Thank you so much!
Avatar n tn I am 25 and need to replace a missing tooth. I am undecided between implant and bridge. My dentist has told me that normally for people my age he would advise implants, however, since my adjacent teeth have fillings, he told me that I should strongly consider a bridge. However, I am afraid of the damage that may be caused to the adjacent teeth. What do you think? Thanks!
Avatar m tn If root resorption tooth is asymptomatic , you don,t need to worry. No one can tell when the tooth will come out. Implant is a highly predictable and viable option for replacing missing tooth.once it is inserted and restored , it can service decades, no need to remove healthy implant.
