Non Malignant Lump In The Non Glandular Region. MRI And FNAC Done. Inflammation Swelling On The Chin. Had A Dental Implant In The Past
I have in the nonglandular region a lump which after MRI and FNAC reveals non malignant ,not a tumour but inflamation swelling. This protrudes ,size a marble in the upper left chin . Have had no fever absess or pus in this region. This has happened after 4 moths of a dental implant in the region Prescribed Dalacin c and Signo flam What could be the cause.
** 1. If after investigations, it came out, simple swelling, then probably would suggest infection. 2. Chew with natural teeth and not on the dental implant during inflammatory phase. 3. There is a documented increased failure rate of implants in patients who smoke. [don't mix them] 4. Routine follow-up appointments can identify potential problems that could delay the restoration of your implant.
PS: Dalacin c [clindamycin] is antibiotic to prevent any secondary infection whereas signoflam [aceclofenac+ paracetamol] is non opioid analgesic and anti pyretic to minimize pain.
