abstract objective: prevalence of tooth loss is higher among diabetic patients in comparison with non-diabetic patients. the aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the relationship between socket blood sugar and post-extraction complications in type ii diabetic and non-diabetic patients. materials and methods: this cross-sectional study was carried out on 80 diabetic and 80 non-diabetic ...

Dry socket/alveolar osteitis is a very debilitating, severely painful but relatively common complication following dental extractions. Its incidence is approximately 3% for all routine extractions and can reach over 30% for impacted mandibular third molars. A number of methods have been suggested in the literature as to how this condition may be prevented and managed. Most of these suggestions ...

BACKGROUND Dry socket is one of the most common complications occurring after the extraction of a permanent tooth, but in spite of its high incidence there is not an established treatment for this condition. OBJECTIVES Analyze the efficacy of different methods used in the management of dry socket regarding results of pain's relief and alveolar mucosa healing compared to conventional surgical ...

AIM The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of dry socket, alveolar infection, and postoperative pain following the routine extraction of erupted teeth. METHODS AND MATERIALS Using a questionnaire, this prospective cross-sectional study evaluated 357 consecutive surgeries in which 473 erupted teeth were extracted by dental students under rigorous control of microbiologic contamin...

BACKGROUND Dry socket is one of the most common complications that develops after the extraction of a permanent tooth, and its prevention is more effective than its treatment. OBJECTIVES Analyze the efficacy of different methods used in preventing dry socket in order to decrease its incidence after tooth extraction. MATERIAL AND METHODS A Cochrane and PubMed-MEDLINE database search was cond...

BACKGROUND To evaluate the effects of intraalveolar placement of gel containing 0.2% chlorhexidine and 10gm of metronidazole on the incidence of alveolar osteitis. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 300 impacted third molars were extracted in 150 patients enrolled in this trial. In each subject a socket was randomly selected and packed to the crest of alveolar ridge with the gel. The contralater...
