[Media Report] After dental implantation, do you feel dizzy and face numbness? Beware of two dangerous areas on the face that ma

After all the hard work of getting a tooth implant, sequelae such as sinusitis, dizziness, and even facial paralysis occur. What’s going on? The dentist reminded that it is very likely that the two dangerous areas were accidentally injured during the dental implant process, penetrating the sinus cavity, or cutting the nerve. In order to avoid the above situation, clinical dentists now use "dental implant navigation" and use a system that simultaneously detects the movement of implants to place dental implants at the target location more quickly, accurately, and safely.
Liang Jiayuan, director of Modern Dentist’s Digital Dental Implant Center, said with many years of experience, everyone’s mouth is unique, and dentists may encounter different situations during diagnosis and treatment. In practice, dental implant treatment is one of the difficult surgeries that cannot be completely standardized.
Traditional dental implants rely entirely on the doctor's personal experience, feel, and a pair of naked eyes to determine the location of the dental implant. Liang Jiayuan gave an example. Just like drawing a line with freehand, it is difficult to draw a straight line without the assistance of other tools, and implants can easily deviate.

One of the common sequelae of dental implants is that one of the main culprits is accidental damage to the sinus cavity. The sinuses are located in the skull and facial bones around the nasal cavity and are usually filled with air. Once the sinuses are penetrated, it is likely to cause sinusitis, cheek pain, dizziness sequelae, and even failure of dental implants.
Liang Jiayuan pointed out that the second problem is accidental injury to the location of the neural tube, because the human face and temporomandibular area are covered with many nerves. If the nerves are accidentally cut during implantation, in addition to damaging the nerves, it may also cause facial paralysis.
Fortunately, technology has advanced. Liang Jiayuan emphasized that with the help of real-time computerized tomography data, dentists can grasp dangerous areas in time, which is relatively safer. The drill system on hand can also immediately interpret the angle, depth, and position. Similar to the concept of driving GPS navigation, dental implant navigation can carefully monitor all real-time information of the operation, stay away from high-risk areas, and greatly increase the success rate of dental implants.
Liang Jiayuan said that dental implant navigation can be applied to a single dental implant in a small area, or even to a full-mouth dental implant reconstruction for a large area of missing teeth, and only one computerized tomography is needed to clearly understand the patient's intraoral implant status, so there is no need for a second shot, which reduces radiation exposure. In addition, it can directly locate the dental implant site. The surgical wound is small and the recovery is relatively fast. It is also classified as a minimally invasive surgery.
