“…The advantage of applying a dressing topically is achieving a greater local concentration of the substances than can normally be expected from systemic administration and also minimizing the possible side effects and sensitization associated with systemic route. Different purpose and benefits of an intra-alveolar dressing such as prevention of food debris accumulation in the socket along with antibacterial properties of medicaments which help to keep the socket disinfected and do not allow excessive inflammation to slow down healing; that they themselves promote healing and provide local pain relief have also been suggested [7]. But these intra-alveolar dressings are also not free from adverse effects, in fact some serious complications are reported and potential adverse effects have also been suggested with the use of intra-alveolar dressings e.g.…”

Introduction Alveolar osteitis (AO) is a well-known complication following tooth extraction. Plethora of literature is available regarding its treatment modalities signifying that none of the treatment is as effective as any another treatment. LASER on the other hand, has been used to promote soft tissue healing. Material and method In order to evaluate the effects of laser on healing of AO we undertook a randomized clinical trial. In the trial, sixty patients diagnosed with AO were randomly divided into three groups viz: alvogyl, diode laser and Er:Cr:YSGG laser (erbium chromium yttrium scandium gallium garnet). Results On analyzing the results, diode laser at 1.0 W power settings (energy: 20-25 J/cm 2 ) in non-contact, continuous mode was found to be the most effective for both pain relief and healing improvement. Conclusion The diode laser is an acceptable and effective non-dressing treatment modality for alveolar osteitis, which is the most common painful complication following extraction.

“…In fact, most surgical (32,33) and dental (34,35) procedures are known to be stressful. Gelatin sponges are widely used in surgical and dental treatment to induce hemostasis and fill wound cavities (10)(11)(12)(13). Our findings show that the stress status of a patient may significantly affect leukocyte infiltration into a clinically implanted surgical sponge.…”

“…Gelatin sponges are used in surgical and dental treatment to induce hemostasis and fill wound cavities (9)(10)(11)(12). Surgical sponges are also used as in vivo immune arenas for studying the kinetics, sequence, and magnitude of leukocyte infiltration into sites of immune activation (13,14).…”

Effective immunoprotection requires rapid recruitment of leukocytes into sites of surgery, wounding, infection, or vaccination. In contrast to immunosuppressive chronic stressors, short-term acute stressors have immunoenhancing effects. Here, we quantify leukocyte infiltration within a surgical sponge to elucidate the kinetics, magnitude, subpopulation, and chemoattractant specificity of an acute stress-induced increase in leukocyte trafficking to a site of immune activation. Mice acutely stressed before sponge implantation showed 200 -300% higher neutrophil, macrophage, natural killer cell, and T cell infiltration than did nonstressed animals. We also quantified the effects of acute stress on lymphotactin-(LTN; a predominantly lymphocyte-specific chemokine), and TNF-␣-(a proinflammatory cytokine) stimulated leukocyte infiltration. An additional stress-induced increase in infiltration was observed for neutrophils, in response to TNF-␣, macrophages, in response to TNF-␣ and LTN, and natural killer cells and T cells in response to LTN. These results show that acute stress initially increases trafficking of all major leukocyte subpopulations to a site of immune activation. Tissue damage-, antigen-, or pathogen-driven chemoattractants subsequently determine which subpopulations are recruited more vigorously. Such stress-induced increases in leukocyte trafficking may enhance immunoprotection during surgery, vaccination, or infection, but may also exacerbate immunopathology during inflammatory (cardiovascular disease or gingivitis) or autoimmune (psoriasis, arthritis, or multiple sclerosis) diseases.chemokine ͉ psychophysiological stress ͉ surgical sponge ͉ wound healing ͉ lymphotactin

“…The usage of eugenol-containing dressing for the treatment and prevention of dry socket is also promoted by some authors. 13 However, it is also found that the delay in wound healing and irritant local effect of eugenol due to packing of the socket has been recorded in the literature.…”
