Dry socket is a painful post-operative condition that affects 25-30% of patients undergoing molar extraction. Dry socket or alveolar osteitis (AO) is characterized by severe, radiating pain which increases between the 1st and 3rd day after extraction. Without careful management, dry socket can lead to infection and jaw necrosis. Preventing dry socket is a [...]
