FAQ

If my implant hurts when I bite, does that mean something is wrong with the implant?

Not necessarily, but it warrants prompt assessment, and the direction of that assessment should first distinguish ‘loading’ from ‘infection’. A systematic review of 80 studies specifically identified **a synergistic relationship between mechanical overload and bacterial biofilm**, which accelerates destruction of peri-implant tissues [F2]—in other words, both may coexist. ‘Pain only on biting, with no pain ordinarily’ points more towards loading, while ‘persistent discomfort’ requires a separate assessment. **The actual judgement must be made by a dentist from a clinical examination, occlusal examination and any necessary imaging; this article cannot replace a diagnosis.**

インプラントで咬むと痛いのは、インプラントに問題があるからですか？ — 必ずしもそうではありませんが、早めに評価する価値があります。まず「力」と「感染」のどちらを評価するか、方向を分ける必要があります。80 件の研究を採用したシステマティックレビューは、**機械的過負荷と細菌性バイオフィルムの間に相乗関係がある**ため、インプラント周囲組織の破壊が加速すると特に指摘しました [F2]。つまり、両方が同時に存在する可能性があります。「咬んだときだけ痛く、普段は痛くない」場合は力の問題をより示唆し、「不快感が続く」場合は別途評価が必要です。**実際の判断は、歯科医師が臨床診査、咬合診査、必要な画像検査に基づいて行う必要があり、この記事は診断の代わりにはなりません。**
