incision line opening
Thu, 12/16/2010 - 11:18 — drbrmac
I recently placed 2 immediate implants in the position of the lower right bicuspids. I had placed a small concurrent graft and covered with a resorbable membrane and a cytoplast non resorbable membrane on top. I removed the sutures which were mostly gone 2 weeks later and the incision line was open by 4 mm or so. I think the cytoplast sprung the wound open. It is healing by secondary intention and at this stage looks like a wide ridge in that area. Should I expect any long term problems from this and will the ridge likely narrow as it heals ?
Thanks
Brent

there will be no problem in healing but, when it heal the wound will shrink and will become narrow
