I underwent dental implant operation three days ago. if i use e-cigar which contains prophilen glicol and nicotine, will my implants hurt?

Healing takes time: An implant takes up to 3 months before it is fully incorporated into the bone (sometimes longer). Placing any materials in this area that can cause possible infections is not a good idea and it would be better to avoid these materials. You might consider the perio protect method as it is used to control the bacteria that cause problems, even around implants.

Possibly: Nicotine in any form can have a negative effect on healing in the human body. While an e cigarette is probably better than a regular cigarette i don't believe either are recommended for the best possible result.

Give it up!: You just spent a great deal of $ on a procedure that is very sensitive to nicotine. Nicotine mixes with your saliva and plays havoc with the microvasculature that is involved with healing. There is a good chance that wound healing will be compromised at a minimal and implant failure is also very possible. Be smart, give it up for a couple of months and protect your investment.

Possibly: You should avoid anything that could possible interfere with wound healing or may aggregate the gum tissue. Tha act of smoking may aggregate the surgical site and the artificial smoke may interfere with the ability of the tissue to mend together. You invested time money and energy into your dental implant.Refrain for about 10-14 days to allow things to heal.

Why take chances! : An implant can be an expensive time consuming procedure. While post operative use of tobacco is frowned upon because of its potential to contaminate a surgical site with "tar" and other foreign residue, nicotine creates other issues. Nicotine constricts blood vessels and may prevent blood from properly flowing to the tissue covering the implant. This could delay healing or may cause a failure.

Yes: Nicotine has harmful effects on both short and long term healing.

Perhaps not, however: There is an association with smoking affecting the general health of an individual. I would not recommend using the chemicals of the e-cigar for concern of them affecting the dental implant. We already know there is an association between smoking and periodontal disease. Smoking can enhance the severity of periodontal disease.

Post operative: Discomfort is more related to many other factors. E-cigar is way down on my list of possible causes of delayed healing or pain. Congrats on moving to the e-cig! the long term issue is soft tissue healing and bone integration with the implant and stopping smoking is a major help toward proper healing.

Wait 2 weeks: The nicotine is a deterrant to proper healing. If you really want the implant to work, you should wait 2 weeks for the tissue to sufficiently heal.

You're taking Risks.: Any time you introduce nicotine into the surgical site, you increase the risk of bacteria, incision-line opening, infection, bone loss, and implant failure. Ideally, you should quit smoking completely. The fact that your blood supply to the surgical site is compromised, is most concerning. Therefore, to give your implant the best chance of survival, i would avoid any type of smoking.
