Post-operative discomfort following the placement of a dental prosthesis secured within the jawbone is a common concern. Management of this discomfort focuses on alleviating inflammation and mitigating nerve sensitivity in the affected area. Effective strategies can significantly contribute to a patient’s comfort and recovery.
Addressing post-operative pain promotes faster healing and reduces the likelihood of complications such as infection. Historically, pain control relied heavily on opioid medications; however, contemporary approaches emphasize multimodal pain management techniques to minimize reliance on narcotics and potential side effects.
