Mahmood WK, Sulaiman NA, Al-Jewari SSA. The effect of “Alveolex” in preventing of alveolar ostitis associated with extraction of lower molar teeth in Mosul dental teaching hospital. Edorium J Dent 2023;10(1):1–6.ABSTRACT
Aim: To evaluate the validity of new material in avoiding dry socket development after tooth extraction in suspected cases.
Methods: 169 patients counted in this study, attended for lower molars extraction due to different reasons, having predisposing factors of dry socket development post-extraction, divided into two groups, control group (87 patients) with extraction socket left without treatment and, a study group (82 patient) treated by “Alveolex” material placed in the socket directly after extraction. Post-operative clinical evaluation for dry socket development in both groups has been performed.
Results: Control group showed more females affected with dry sockets than males. Dry socket developed more in smoker males whose sockets were left without treatment, also females who took contraceptive pills showed more dry socket in control, while all the patients have no dry socket at all in the study group regardless of the gender, smoking, or contraceptive pills taking.
Conclusion: Topical application of (Alveolex) after dental extraction prevents dry socket formation.
