Duration/Prediction
The duration of this inflammation caused by a pressure sore is about 3-5 days with adequate treatment. After treatment at the dentist, the pain often persists for one or two days and then gradually subsides. The prognosis is therefore very good, as long as the pain is not caused by a tumor. Sometimes, however, it may take a few days longer or another pressure point may occur after the treatment, which means that further dental appointments are necessary until the prosthesis is properly seated again.
