Collagen on Graft Site for Pregnant Woman?
Last Updated: Mar 10, 2008
Nikita, a dental implant patient asks:
I am pregnant and nursing. I had an extraction, bone graft and dental implant placed recently. The oral surgeon placed collagen over the graft site and advised me that it was safe. However everything I am seeing online indicates it is contraindicated for pregnant and nursing women. Who is correct? Please advise if you have accurate information on this.
