Risk of infection from Jaw implants?

[Deleted member 18898]

Roughly how probable is an infection to a jaw implant (PEEK, gonial only not wraparound) with a highly credible surgeon (Sailer, DeFrancq, Ramieri, Marianetti, etc)? Think it will be intraoral incision

I heard when you get an infection 90% of the time they have to remove them? Is that right?

Also, if you end up having to have an implant removed within the first month, will you be disfigured in any way or lose definition on your jawline due to massetter stretching/skin sagging?

I have a PEEK wrap around jaw implant and it didn't get infected

After the surgery you have 1 week where you take a shit ton of meds so it doesnt get infected

Not a known one, it's Maxillofacial surgeon from Portugal (Lisbon)

Relatively speaking, high. Jaw implants are the most prone to infection according to eppley. The least prone are midface implants

 

[RealSurgerymax]

2% per implant.

Yes they have to come out if infected. Salvaging the implant with antibiotics will not usually be possible, just a waste of time and also more time for the infection to get worse.
