I had a dental implant in early June, was healing up beautifully and dentist put the crown on in late Sept.
Around the same time I had a cortizone shot in my shoulder for a rotater cuff tear (at WCBs request) and month later my implant was loose in my jaw.
Dentist says there have been no studies and no proof but the dental community sees this with steroid use.
The cortizone shot helped with the shoulder pain but I won't be doing it again.
Personally, I'd have to be in pretty dire straits to try that stem cell treatment
