Pink Bone
results after receiving a dental bone graft. How long does healing take?
as a result of wearing dentures during 39 years over 95% of bone loss has been accrued in my upper jaw, with whom he also needs a sinus lift, the doctor I said once I was in my mouth doing the surgery was surprised to see that there was only the eggshell thin bone to work. He did what he could and said needed another surgery to increase the right side was the worst of both. Now I have a problem, I use to take Fasomax for about 4 years and only stopped taking 2 months before my surgery because I heard that could cause the death of the mandible in dental surgery like this. My doctor told me 17 days after my surgery would seem that the right side is having trouble receiving blood supply and when I look in my mouth tissus is pale pink to almost white. Only I want to know if anyone has had the same problem and how to handle and can be fixed. Waiting to hear from someone. Concerned in Rochester.
I'm sorry to hear that you spent for all that surgery. You are very strong and sounds like a good patient who is very educated on what is done to them. You'd be surprised how clueless most patients. Anyway, the only way to know if the graft is taken over time. Tissue from pale pink to almost white could be because the sutures are there and pulling the fabric making it look that color. My advice is to keep an eye on it and stay in touch with the doc. The graft usually takes a while to intergrate keep fingers Crusaders. You can not be completely out of luck yet.
