bone grafting and loose tooth
I had a bad implant on tooth #10 which was put in on April 14, 2008. There is no bone cover the outer side of the implant. Also, the implant was placed in a position with close to #9.
the implant was taken out on Aug. 14, 2008 by another doctor. She used BMP-2 which cause big swelling over 2-3 weeks. and light swelling afterwards.
On Aug. 30. I noticed my #9 become loose and very sensitive to percussion. On that day, my gum on #9 and #10 was seriously inflamed. Since then, I took anti-biotics, ipurfon,.
I noticed the inflamation was totally gone two days ago. But my tooth #9 still loose. the sensitivity of percussion reduced but still have some.
Is the extended swelling pushed my #9 down? will this looseness be forever? is there a way to restore it back to its original condition?
my #9 is very healthy. never have any problem before. Thanks.

they use BMP-2 to do bone graft at the site #10 where the bad implant was taken out. They said to use BMP-2 could increase the speed of bone healing and don't need to harvest my own bone from other site.
the gum inflamation peaked on 8/31 , on 9/2, I saw doctor she checked the surgical area by looking, and said there is no infection. She then gave me anti-biotics and ibuprofen to reduce the bacteria level and treat the inflamation.
now it is 9/20, as my gum condition getting better, I noticed that the sensitivity to percussion reduced but my tooth is still a little bit loose. (it got a little bit tighter now).
so, will it over time, as the surgical area healed(tooth #10) , my #9 will become tighter?
How to know if a bone graft area failed? My doctor said if there is no white liquid come out, there shouldn't be any infection inside.
"I question why BMP-2 was used in this case and if an infection was present, was it completely removed? "
I did not get it, you mean "was BMP-2 completely removed" or "infection completely removed" ? Thanks.

A loose front tooth will often not spontaneously get "tighter." The graft may have failed. I would have the tooth evaluated for root canal therapy before any additional procedures are performed on it.
