Removal of Dental Implant - Patient Information & Consent
Page 1/2
1. I have been informed and I understand the purpose and the nature of the surgical procedure. I had all my questions answered by Perio Specialty Group (Dr. Farzin Ghannad, Dr. Hannu Larjava, Dr. Nabil Nadji, Dr. Robert Straga, Dr. Farzan Ghannad) in a satisfactory manner.
2. My doctor has carefully examined my mouth. Alternatives to this treatment have been explained.
3. I have further been informed of the possible risks and complications involved with this surgery, drugs, and anesthesia. Such complications include pain, swelling, infection, discoloration, injury to the teeth present, jaw joint injury and risk of jaw fracture during the surgery. In case of jaw fracture during surgery hospitalization and further treatment will be required.
4. I understand that the removal of the existing implants might results in significant amount of bone loss that could weaken the jaw bone resulting in jaw fracture in the future. Furthermore, I am aware that following the appropriate healing period, I might not have adequate amount of bone for future implant placement in the same region.
5. I am aware that this surgery could result in more damage to the nerve below the teeth/implants making the prognosis for any nerve recovery, if at all, less favorable. Also possible are inflammation of a vein, injury to teeth present, bone fractures, sinus penetration (for upper jaw), delayed healing, allergic reactions to drugs or medications used, etc. I also understand that my body may react adversely to the stress of a surgical procedure, with cardiac arrest being the most serious, but remote, possibility.
6. I consent to the administration of anesthetics or sedative drugs if prescribed and agree not to operate a motor vehicle or hazardous device for at least 24 hours after their administration.
7. My doctor has explained that there is no method to accurately predict the gum and the bone healing capabilities in each patient following these kinds of surgeries. This includes also the gum tissue and the bone around the neighboring teeth.
