A dental implant is a medical device consisting of a screw that is placed into the mandibular or maxillary bone, simulating the root of a tooth. On this screw a prosthesis is placed, which replaces the missing tooth allowing to restore its full functionality.
Implant placement is a treatment that must be done either by a dentist who is an expert in implantology and done within a few hours, after which the patient will go home. For this reason, it is essential to follow to the letter the guidelines indicated by the professional to promote the restoration of the altered tissues.
Thanks to the new implant placement systems and materials used in the clinic, the percentage of people suffering from complications today is very low. However, to relieve the discomfort and inflammation in the first few days, it is necessary to follow a series of care.
