What this Trial Is About
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.
