How Long Will It Take To Heal After Tooth Extraction?
I recently had an extraction of #30 due to root fracture. A bone graft in extra site and gtr-resorbable barrier placed. There were 3 sutures placed and I lost one and the collagen barrier is now moving around and away from the extraction site. My dds is on vacation, so how serious is this to the healing process?
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The socket healing will take around 7-10days. Nothing to be panic about the membrane. Usually the sutures will resorb in weeks to months(if it is absorbable sutures). If it is non absorbable sutures, then get it removed after 7 days. The problem associated with a mobile membrane is damage to the graft material and delayed wound healing and infection. Do saline gargling and consult a oral physician as early as possible. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
