Back molar implant process: how much time off?

Author: crusius

Hi all,

Searched but found no answers, I wonder if there are any around here who know:

I had to remove an upper molar about a week ago, and I am in the implant dance: bone graft placed, waiting four months for the next step.

The question is when can I return to normal playing: my dentist did not know the answer, and told me that the "pressure type" of clarinet playing in principle is not a problem, as it increases the pressure. The problem is when pressure is decreased and pulls stuff away. But he couldn't say for sure.

This being the back molar, there was not much left in between the mouth cavity and the sinus, but now there is (healing) graft in between those. I started playing two days ago trying to keep things down, and the pressure is felt in that area.

Anybody around with words of wisdom?

Thanks!
