Study Notes
Pre-Surgery Preparation
- Ibuprofen dosage: 600-800mg, 24-48 hours before surgery, to reduce postoperative pain
- Caution: patients with controlled hypertension should be careful when taking ibuprofen as it may interact with their medications
Post-Surgery Care
- Transient root hypersensitivity and gingival recession are common after surgery
- Patients should be warned about these potential side effects, which will resolve on their own within 4-6 weeks
- Staining of the dentition may occur, but can be removed by polishing at a later date
Pain Management
- Patients experiencing severe postoperative pain should be seen on an emergency basis
- Treatment for this type of pain includes systemic antibiotics and analgesics
- Regional anesthesia and removal of the dressing may be necessary to examine the painful area
Dentin Hypersensitivity
- A common problem in periodontal practice
- Patients should not schedule routine maintenance appointments, but rather wait 1-2 weeks to allow the mouth to heal and inflammation to subside
