How long should you wait before flying after bone graft?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The timeframe for getting a dental implant after a bone graft can vary depending on several factors. Generally, it is recommended to wait for the bone graft to fully integrate and heal before proceeding with a dental implant. This allows for optimal osseointegration, which is the process of the implant fusing with the surrounding bone.

The typical waiting period after a bone graft is around three to six months. During this time, the grafted bone needs to undergo a process called revascularization, where new blood vessels form and supply the area with nutrients. This process is crucial for the graft to become stable and provide a solid foundation for the dental implant.

The waiting period can vary depending on the location of the bone graft and the quality of the patient's bone. In some cases, additional time may be needed to ensure proper healing and integration. Your dentist or oral surgeon will evaluate your specific situation and provide you with a more accurate timeline based on your individual needs.

It's important to remember that every patient is unique, and the healing process can differ from person to person. Following your dentist's instructions and attending regular check-ups will allow them to monitor your progress and determine the appropriate time to proceed with the dental implant placement.

If you were taking it in the prescribed dosage, yes. If you were loading up on it, it would be a good idea to go easy on booze for a couple more days (an excellent idea anyway). Diazepam has active metabolites that hang around for weeks.

Does Alcohol affect the brain centers not equally?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Ethanol (ethyl alcohol) affects many areas of the brain.

However, the most pronounced impact is found in the cerebrum, hippocampus, and cerebellum.

Ethanol affects the GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) neurotransmitter system, binding to GABA-A and GABA-B receptors, and increasing their ability to hyperpolarize neuronal cell membranes. So, it inhibits (slows, reduces) brain activity.

When this happens in the cerebral cortex, higher thought is slowed or inhibited.

In the hippocampus (where a large number of GABA receptors exist), memory storage is impaired.

In the cerebellum (also containing large numbers of GABA receptors to allow for fine-tuning of activities related to coordination), coordination is impaired.

Can you drink when taking diazepam?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Alcohol will increase the central nervous system depressant effects of diazepam. You will become overly sedated. A small amount of diazepam and alcohol probably wont kill you, let's say 1 glass of beer and 5 mg of diazepam. But drinking alcohol and diazepam is not a wise thing to do and can be dangerous.

Why can't you drink when taking antibiotics?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Most antibiotics do not adversely react with alcohol. This is actually an old wives tail dating back to WWII when penicillin was heavily used but in short supply. Soldiers were told that they couldn't drink on the antibiotics in an attempt to keep them sober so that they wouldn't become inebriated and have intercourse with prostitutes, thus catching venereal diseases that would require antibiotic therapy.

However, there are a few antibiotics that do have a true reaction with alcohol. For example, Metronidazole inhibits acetaldehyde dehydrogenase thus interfering with alcohol metabolism. These patients will have side effects if alcohol is consumed while the patient is taking the drug and thus, the patient should be instructed to abstain from alcohol use for the duration of the prescription.
