Recovery time after mandibular grinding
Mandibular grinding is a plastic surgery that changes the angle and contour of the mandible by removing the bone of the mandibular angle. Postoperative patients need a certain time to recover, and the following will be described in detail from four aspects: recovery time, diet regulation, oral hygiene and activity restriction.
1、 Recovery time after mandibular grinding
After mandibular grinding, the recovery time varies from person to person, generally taking 1 to 2 weeks, which may vary in different individual circumstances. In the first week after the operation, the patient may feel swelling and pain in the operation area and mild tooth discomfort. At this time, the patient should follow the doctor's advice to use cold compress and local antibiotics to keep the mouth clean and avoid irritation. One week after the operation, the swelling and pain will be significantly reduced, but it is still necessary to avoid excessive exercise, maintain a soft diet, and develop good eating habits.
Over time, the recovery process of patients will gradually accelerate. In the second week after operation, the swelling and pain of most patients were significantly reduced, and they could gradually start to return to normal diet. In the third week after operation, the wounds of most patients in the operation area have basically healed, and the swelling and pain have completely disappeared. At this time, the patient can resume normal diet and oral hygiene, and gradually increase the intensity of activity.
In general, the recovery time after mandibular grinding surgery is 2 to 4 weeks, but the specific recovery time may vary depending on individual physique, surgical method, postoperative nursing and other factors.
2、 Dietary regulation
Postoperative patients need to adjust their diet to avoid stimulating the operation area and aggravating the pain and swelling of the wound. In the first week after the operation, it is recommended that patients take liquid or semi liquid diet as the main diet and avoid chewing solid food. You can choose fresh fruit juice, clear soup, porridge and other softened foods to ensure nutrition intake. In the second week, you can gradually start to eat soft and glutinous food, such as noodles, dumplings, etc., but you still need to avoid stimulating food. After the third week, patients can gradually resume their normal diet, but they still need to pay attention to the strength of chewing and try to avoid over chewing.
3、 Oral hygiene
The importance of postoperative oral hygiene cannot be ignored. In the first week after the operation, the patient can use warm saline or mouthwash to gently rinse the mouth to keep the mouth clean, but avoid brushing teeth forcefully. The second week after the operation, gently brush with a soft bristled toothbrush, but still pay attention not to stimulate the wound. At the third week after the operation, the patient can resume normal oral hygiene and use ordinary toothbrush to brush his teeth, but it still needs careful operation.
4、 Activity restrictions
Postoperative patients need to pay attention to movement restrictions to avoid affecting the surgical effect and postoperative recovery. In the first week after the operation, the patient should avoid excessive exercise and try to keep a rest. Avoid excessive chewing, laughter and mouth activity. The second week after operation, the patient can gradually increase the amount of daily activities, but still pay attention to avoid strenuous exercise and chewing. In the third week after operation, patients can gradually increase their activity intensity, but they still need to avoid strenuous exercise.
