Drilled Too Deep when Preparing Hole for Implant Insertion: Should I Be Concerned? | OsseoNews Discussions on Dental Implants

Drilled Too Deep when Preparing Hole for Implant Insertion: Should I Be Concerned? | OsseoNews Discussions on Dental Implants: "Having 1 or 2 mm extra depth to your implant is okay provided it did not traumatised any vital structures like the sinuses or the idn or the linqual or labial plates. Even so, if the implant does not impinge excessively into these structures, the body’s unrivalled healing abilities will cover up our misdemeanour. Of course we should rely primarily on our skill and foresight via thorough treatment planning to avoid these misdemeanours and only rely on the bodiy’s built in smart healing powers as a failsafe device. If in doubt about sterility, it does no harm to cover the patient with antibiotics. Might be helpful to also advice the patient to take some yogurt for those few days and some days after to replace any good bacteria in the gut that may have been destroyed.

Cheers."
