Patient numb 2 days after implant placement: thoughts?
Last Updated: Dec 07, 2018
I placed a 10mm implant in site #30 . The CBCT showed that it was 14mm away from IAN canal, but there was some radiolucency in the area. The patient is still numb 2 days after placing the implant. He also has a bluish discoloration in the chin area where the implant was placed. No nerve block was used, only local infiltration. What could have caused this? Any recommendations for follow-up or treatment?
