To place a Dental Implant in the pregnancy is not harmful in itself. The implant will not generate any problem to the baby or the mom. However, unless it is an emergency, it is recommended to wait and perform the treatment after birth.
It is recommended to wait for the birth of the baby for several reasons, which I will comment below.
To perform a treatment with dental implants is due to make an initial diagnosis, for which it is necessary to take x-rays.
As is known, during pregnancy should always be to avoid the realization of this type of testing in which it is required radiation.
After the implant surgery will be necessary to take medications for the control of pain and inflammation. In some cases the patient will have medication with antibiotics.
It should be noted that, when the treatment is performed in pregnant women, the dose of the drug decreases, and the type of medications are also changed.
During pregnancy the calcium of the bones in women decreases. This occurs because a large part of the calcium goes to the conformation of the bones of the baby. The decrease of calcium can lead to changes in bones that will make the process of osseointegration (intimate union between the dental implant and the bone) is not adequate.
In addition, the hormonal changes may favor the onset of disease in the gum, such as inflammation and bleeding. This type of disease also affect the healing process.
In any of the cases mentioned, it is possible to generate rejection or loss of the dental implant.
To keep in mind, if before the pregnancy has already been advanced in the process of placing the implant and temporary crown, there will be no problem with the continuity of the treatment, the placement of the fixed prosthesis.
