“…We observed relatively rapid healing in the first two patients without any apparent risk factors. This treatment of AO with a new HA + OCT device seems effective, and the healing is faster or similar (2-8 days, median 4 days [15,24]) to other commonly used treatment modalities (3-10 days [7,11,13]).…”

“…Other treatment methods (local anesthetics, topical antibiotics, low-level laser, plasma rich in growth factors) seem to be similarly or less effective, less commonly used, or less available in the general dental offices [6,7,9,12,13].…”

“…Subsequently, the local intervention continues with the goal to relieve pain and heal the extraction wound. Several different methods are recommended, such as Zinc oxide eugenol (ZOE), Alveogyl, vitamin C, plasma rich in growth factors, local anesthetics, topical antibiotics, or low-level laser application [7,9,[11][12][13]. The standard treatment method used in the authors' workplace is the short-term intra-appointment placement of gauze soaked with a phenol-camphora spirituous solution in the extraction wound combined with the application of dry heat (infrared lamp) for 15 min, which brings an immediate pain relief in the majority of the patients [2].…”

Initial Observation of Factors Interfering with the Treatment of Alveolar Osteitis Using Hyaluronic Acid with Octenidine—A Series of Case Reports

et al. 2021

Alveolar osteitis (AO) is a common complication following the extraction of the teeth, particularly the lower third molars. It starts within a few days after the extraction and manifests mainly as pain in the extraction site. Several strategies of treatment are available in order to relieve pain and heal the extraction wound. Recently, a novel medical device combining hyaluronic acid (HA) and octenidine (OCT) was introduced for the treatment of AO. This series of case reports aims to summarize the initial clinical experiences with this new device and to highlight factors possibly interfering with this treatment. The medical documentation of five patients with similar initial situations treated for AO with HA + OCT device was analyzed in detail. Smoking and previous treatment with Alveogyl (Septodont, Saint-Maur-des-Fossés, France) were identified as factors interfering with the AO treatment with the HA + OCT device. In three patients without these risk factors, the treatment led to recovery within two or three days. The patient pretreated with Alveogyl and the smoker required six and seven applications of the HA + OCT device, respectively. According to these initial observations, it seems smoking and previous treatment with Alveogyl prolong the treatment of AO using the HA + OCT device that, in turn, shows a rapid effect if these risk factors are not present.
