What to do if you bleed after a second-stage dental implant surgery

Dental implant phase II is the process of surgically installing the healing abutment, fabricating and installing the abutment and upper crown structure. Bleeding after implant surgery may be related to gingival hyperplasia, peri-implant mucositis, etc. Depending on the cause, measures such as local cleaning and medication, strengthening oral care, surgical excision of hyperplasia, or remodeling of restorations can be taken.
1. Gingival hyperplasia: mostly due to the implant implantation area of soft tissue is too thick and did not do appropriate trimming, or restorations and mucosal contact surface roughness caused by the clinical manifestations of redness and swelling of the gums, bleeding and so on. At this time, local use of hydrogen peroxide, saline rinse, iodized glycerin or minocycline ointment to relieve, if necessary, surgical resection of hyperplastic gingival tissues or removal of restorations remade.
2. Peri-implant mucositis: mostly due to poor prosthetic fabrication, poor edge sealing, or prosthetic bonding agent is not clean, resulting in gingival tissue around the implant is congested, red and swollen, bleeding when touched. At this time, the excess bonding agent should be removed, oral care should be strengthened, mouth rinsing with chlorhexidine gargle, and the implant restoration should be removed and remade if necessary.
Strict oral care should be carried out after the second stage of dental implant surgery, and regular review and maintenance should be carried out. If discomfort occurs, you should seek medical treatment in time, improve the examination, and standardize the treatment under the guidance of professional physicians to avoid delaying the condition.
