Suggest Treatment For Spasms In Inner Ear After A Dental Implant

I had a failed bridge, which resulted in much decay, dent. thought root canal might be needed, then decided not. i did experience some pressure 7 taste but xray showed nothing. went on w/ implant (this is all now @ 3yrws form bridge removal) @8 mo. after implant I woke up w/ spasms in inner ear on same side as described work. dent. said it could be from implant (which is @ the floor of upper sinus( this is implant is tooth#3, decayed crown from failed bridge is #2, no wisdom tooth) perscribed 875mg amoxy, 28 days, spasms went away immediately, returned after antibiotics were stopped almost a.o. ENT exam & CAT of sinus showed NO PROBLMES there. No one perios, pharmacists, etc. have ever encounter symptoms. I have had relief for brief periods form alternative supplements & antibacterials i.e. tee tree oil. but nNO permanent relief. the spams tend to come on @ nite after dinner can last 10 mins., normally last 8-18 hours, can last days. the longest period i have gone w/out spasms since onset is @ 21 days. ( but that was awhile ago) probing implant & # 2 seems to help, but as i write spasms are happening. It is almosti mpossible to sleep & has affected my well being ,. i am concerned it is a permanent condition,. am considering having inplant & # 2 removexd. Forgot to mention there was severe bone loss @ implant, but it is stable & # 2 is alive according to endo diagnostic, who did not think i needed a root canal.............

Hi...I think that implant which was placed for you did bit of infection near sinus floor as allready there was bone loss......In my view there could be periimplantitis. .and it's common when there is bone loss or if implant is not placed properly or beacuse of improper sterilisation during treatment
..If problem persists you may have to get dental implant removed and you would be ok..
