Can you run after dental implant surgery?

Strenuous exercise is not recommended after dental implant surgery, and running is one of the more strenuous exercises. It is clinically recommended not to do strenuous exercises such as running within the 2nd-3rd days or 3-5 days after surgery, because it may cause aggravated or increased wound bleeding and lead to increased wound swelling and pain reaction. For special cases, such as patients who do maxillary sinus lift bone volume, the amount of autologous bone is not sufficient requiring the implantation of many artificial bone powders. The initial stability of the implant in these cases is relatively poor, and if strenuous exercise is performed, it may lead to the dislodgement of the implant, such as the dislodgement of the maxillary sinus. Therefore, it is not clinically advisable for patients to perform strenuous exercise after surgery. Also more complex surgeries, such as those involving the maxillary sinus, are not recommended to swim too early, because it is connected to the nasal cavity and premature swimming may cause infection from the nasal cavity into the oral cavity. For patients who like to work out, it is recommended that they do not perform drastic equipment exercises, but can do bench press, dumbbell, and yoga type exercises.
