A member asked:
What are the primary symptoms of a bone graft rejection/infection in the lower jaw? i had surgery last year and have pain but no redness/inflammation.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Varies: Usually would be associated with redness, swelling, pain, and possibly drainage. Blood tests such as a Crp and esr can also give further evaluation. If you are concerned, don't hesitate to get a second opinion.
