Smoking as a risk factor for DRY socket complication: a case control study
Abstract
Alveolar osteitis which is also known as dry socket, is an inflammation of the alveolar bone. Usually, this occurs as a postoperative complication of tooth extraction.(Jesudasan, Abdul Wahab and Muthu Sekhar, 2015).Alveolar osteitis can occur where the blood clot fails to form or is lost from the socket .This result in empty socket where bone is exposed to the oral cavity,(Packiri, Gurunathan and Selvarasu, 2017) causing a localized alveolar osteitis limited to the lamina dura .(Vijayakumar Jain et al., 2019) This most specific type is known as dry socket and is associated with increased pain and delayed healing time. [1] .The Dry socket occurs in about 0.5–5% of routine dental extractions, and in about 25–30% of Since alveolar osteitis is not primarily an infection, there is not usually any pyrexia (fever) and cervical lymphadenitis (swollen glands in the neck), and only minimal edema (swelling) and erythema (redness) is present in the soft tissues surrounding the socket. In materials and methods , there are certain requirements that are necessary such as case control study for a better understanding , patients details who visited Saveetha dental college for a background check , data obtained from DIAS to ensure that the data can be supported .The study setting is a university based setting was with proper records and reviews from Saveetha Dental College.While the setting was being taken place , there were various pros and cons found where in pros , reasonable data was…
