Hi
It has been well documented that elevated use of antibiotics are required with invasive dental procedures around the time of the implant operation.

Is anyone aware of the on-going infection risks for implants with invasive dental procedures at periods of time when the implant is successfully established?

Cheers

I have had several surgeries since getting an implant. I ask prior to each as well as have asked Dr. Kramer. The answer given to me is the surgical risk with an implanted device mainly is associated with heart valves (metal) and replacement joints. I have also been told it no-longer applies to many newer type joint replacements. I've had no issues myself. Having surgery again Aug. 9th. I will ask about it again then.

Thanks for the clarification...
