Clinical Trial Summary
Many authors have advocated different methods of treating alveolar osteitis. Despite many
years of research, however, little progress has been made and so a study with large enough
sample and standard outcome measures is warranted.
Goal of this study is assess the effect of postoperative use of a monoject syringe on
postoperative complaints after surgical removal of a lower third molar.
Description:
One of the most common postoperative complications after the removal of a third molar is a
condition known as dry socket. This term has been in use since 1896. Since then several other
terms have been used, including alveolar osteitis, postoperative alveolitis, alveolitis,
sicca dolorosa and fibriniolytic alveolitis. Bim labelled the complication fibrinolytic
alveolitis which is the most accurate of the terms, but also the least used. The condition
has generally been characterised by delayed healing associated with degradadtion of clot, and
is usually accompanied by persistent, radiating, pain postoperativively in and around the
extraction site that is not easily relieved by analgesics. Because of the pain, swelling and
trismus, patients also tend to have a greater need for painkillers. If it is possible to
reduce the amount and severity of postoperative pain felt by patients the postoperative
period would be more endurable, the quality of life will be less affected, and in addition to
this it is possible that the amount of analgesics taken by patients after surgery could be
lowered7. It can be a burden for both patients an surgeons and my result in a loss of
productivity because at least 45% of patients require multiple visits to the surgeon.
