View clinical trials related to Dry Socket.
Filter by:Dry socket, or Alveolar Osteitis, is the most common complication that can follow a tooth extraction. Over the years, various approaches have been employed to expedite the healing process and alleviate the associated symptoms. Among these, Alvogyl has been the most commonly used dry socket dressing all over the globe. However due to Alvogyl's potential side effect of causing a foreign body reaction & ultimately necrosis of the alveolar bone if left in the socket along with its high cost, scientists have sought to develop new techniques. Among them, Honey dressing has heralded promising properties in facilitating the resolution of dry socket, thus opening the window of a side-effect free natural viable alternative to Alvogyl. In this research, we aim to compare the efficacy of pure Honey as a dry socket dressing in comparison to Alvogyl.
The goal of this clinical trial is to asses the effect of Coenzyme Q10 administration in patients from any gender group who are older than 18 years old undergoing wisdom tooth extraction. The main questions it aims to answer are: does Coenzyme Q10 help with better tissue healing? does Coenzyme Q10 administration lower the prevalence of Dry socket after surgery? does Coenzyme Q10 prevent TMD (Temporomandibular disorders) while recovering from surgery? how does Coenzyme Q10 administration effect the answers to SF-36 health survey in patients? Researchers will compare Coenzyme Q10 to a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no drug) to see if it has any effect on mentioned parameters. Participants will: - take coenzyme Q10 (100mg) daily for 30 days after surgery. - will be examined and evaluated 1, 7, 14 and 30 days after completion of surgery.
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to compare pain, mouth opening, and alveolar osteitis following surgical extraction of bilateral symmetrical impacted lower third molars using two types of wound closures. Collagen plugs will be applied in the sockets of the study side followed by suture, while the controlled side will be sutured without a collagen plug. The study will include 40 patients aged between 18- 40 years old, medically fit (ASA1), who have bilateral symmetrical impacted lower third molars and visit the oral surgery clinics of King Saud Medical City for extraction. The main question is" Does intra-alveolar collagen application after surgical extraction of impacted lower third molars reduce the incidence of alveolar osteitis?
