ABSTRACT

Alveolar osteitis (AO), also known as dry socket, is the most common postoperative complication following the surgical removal of a third molar or any other tooth. The patient experiences pain, for which conventional anesthetics provide no relief. Managing AO, and the associated pain in particular, is key to solving this problem. A range of procedures have been used to help resolve this issue, some of the most notable of which include the administration of Alvogyl, eugenol, analgesics, anti-inflammatories, iodoform, and topical anesthetics. Objective. The aim of this review is to study the pathophysiology of AO, and the how AO is currently treated and managed at Universidad la Salle Bajío University.
Conclusions. The aim of this review is to study the pathophysiology of AO, and the how AO is currently treated and managed at Universidad la Salle Bajío university.
Curettage and scraping of the alveolar bone is not recommended due to the intense pain that results and because there is no guarantee that the new blood clot will remain in the desired spot. Antiseptic mouthwashes, such as Chlorhexidine, used prior to and following any extraction have been shown to be very effective in preventing and treating alveolar osteitis. Filling the socket with a zinc oxide and eugenol compress combined with a topical anesthetic seems to be a good alternative treatment for patients.
