Collagen fell off day after extraction: will my graft fail?
Last Updated: Oct 09, 2013
I had cracked tooth 18 that was extracted followed by grafting and sutures. The dentist also put on a collagen membrane. The next day after surgery the collagen membrane came off. Do I need to worry about this? Will this effect the bone graft and Will I have to do the graft again?
