Innovative Topical Dressing for Dry Socket Shows Promise in Clinical Trial

Posted: November 25, 2024
A randomized controlled clinical trial compared the efficacy of a novel topical dressing for dry socket with Alvogyl®. The novel dressing, containing triamcinolone, Dianthus caryophyllus, eugenol, honey, and Iris germanica, showed comparable efficacy to Alvogyl® in managing post-extraction pain. It exhibited lower pain scores at 30 and 60 minutes post-treatment but higher scores at 24, 48, and 72 hours. The novel dressing was cost-effective with no side effects, highlighting its potential as a beneficial alternative for treating dry socket.
