Dry socket ac
What is a dry socket? 
A dry socket is a fairly common complication of 
tooth extraction characterized by severe pain. It 
occurs when the tooth socket loses the blood 
clot that forms after a tooth is extracted and 
the bone inside the socket becomes exposed. It 
is one of the most painful dental problems one 
can experience. A dry socket is also referred to 
as alveolar osteitis.
What causes a dry socket? 
The blood clot that forms after tooth extraction is 
essential for optimal healing of the underlying tissue. 
Destruction or loss of the blood clot prevents normal 
healing and causes alveolar osteitis. There are a 
variety of reasons why the initial blood clot could be 
lost or destroyed prematurely. The body reacts to 
local infection and inflammation, trauma, bacteria, 
and estrogen to destroy the blood clot, leaving an 
exposed socket. So it is important to minimize these 
risk factors as much as possible.
the socket has a dry appearance because 
of exposed bone. The blood clot helps in 
stopping the bleeding and lays framework 
for new tissues to develop there but in 
case of dry socket, the clot is dislodged 
and the bone is exposed. This bare bone is 
exposed to bacteria in the saliva and the 
food which the patient consumes and the 
bone becomes infected and painful.
How common is a dry socket? 
A dry socket will occur in only 1% to 3% of all 
tooth extractions, but it becomes much more 
common in the extraction of lower 
(mandibular) wisdom teeth. In lower impacted 
(covered) wisdom teeth, as many as 25% to 
30% of cases result in a dry socket.
What are signs and symptoms of 
dry socket? 
A patient may first notice signs of a dry socket 3 to 4 
days after extraction of the tooth by feeling moderate-to- 
severe pain that could last anywhere from 10 to 40 
days. The exposed bone of a dry socket is very sensitive 
and leads to an intense dull aching pain that throbs and 
radiates around the affected side of the jaw often to 
the patient's ear. Frequently, the patient affected by a 
dry socket will also complain of a bad odor or bad taste 
in their mouth.

Treatment 
The pain from alveolar osteitis usually lasts for 
24–72 hours. There is no real treatment for 
alveolar osteitis; it is a self-limiting condition that 
will improve and disappear with time, but 
certain interventions can significantly decrease 
pain during an episode of alveolar osteitis.
These interventions usually consist of a gentle rinsing of 
the inflamed socket followed by the direct placement 
within the socket of some type of sedative dressing, which 
soothes the inflamed bone for a period of time and 
promotes tissue growth. This is usually done without 
anesthesia. The active ingredients in these sedative 
dressings usually include substances like, zinc oxide, 
eugenol, and oil of cloves.
It is usually necessary to have this done for 
two or three consecutive days, although 
occasionally it can take longer. Because true 
alveolar osteitis pain is so intense, additional 
analgesics are sometimes prescribed.
ALVOGYL PASTE
Alvogyl is a dry-socket treatment and post-extraction 
dressing which every dental office should have on hand . 
Alvogyl is a one-step, self-eliminating treatment which 
rapidly 
alleviates pain and provides a soothing effect throughout 
the healing process. 
Its fibrous consistency allows for easy filling of the socket 
and good adherence during the entire healing process. 
The active ingredients of Alvogyl include eugenol for 
analgesic action, butamben for anaesthetic action, and 
iodoform for anti-microbial action.
PROPERTIES 
•Antiseptic and analgenic paste. 
•Butamben – provides moderate anaesthetic 
action . 
•Iodoform – effective antimicrobial action 
•Eugenol – effective analgesic action. 
•Alvogyl easily adheres to the alveolus and 
assisted by the patients tongue movements, it 
gradually self eliminates.
CONTRA-INDICATIONS 
• Alvogyl is not to be used on patients having a history of allergic 
reactions to procaine type 
anaesthetics or to iodine compounds. 
• Do not suture in place. 
DIRECTIONS FOR USE 
Using a pair of tweezers apply 0.2g of Alvogyl to adequately 
cover the bottom of the socket 
and pack gently into place.
PRECAUTIONS 
Contents should be used within 2 years. 
STORAGE 
To be kept in a cool dry place.
