In routine extraction procedures dry socket remains the most common complication with diverse etiology. This
research article addresses various treatment options from preclinical and clinical point of view for dry socket
(Alveolar Osteitis or AO) management with an aim to guide the dental health care professional for patient
preparation and management of this painful condition. It is a common condition arising after an extraction of
mandibular molars along with postoperative pain in and around the extraction site, accompanied by a partially or
complete loss of blood clot leaving the exposed alveolar socket with or without halitosis. The treatment modes
include conventional methods like use of medicated gauze, herbs, antibiotics, gel, irrigation. In other words it
can be treated by copious use of irrigation, eugenol dressings, analgesics, antibiotics and maintenance of oral
hygiene. One of the most important factor to consider is whether the patient have followed post extraction
instructions or not?
