4 Outcome: This review includes those studies who studied
alveolar osteitis (dry socket) or infection or both as post-operative complication, occurring after 3 to 5 days of surgery.
Commercial dressing Alvogyl(R) is available which contains eugenol, which is to be replaced every two days.16 Immediate use of medicated packing reduced the incidence of

Ran- domized double-blind study on effectiveness of intra-alveolar chlorhexidine gel in reducing the incidence of
alveolar osteitis in mandibular third molar surgery.
In conclusion chlorhexidine was found more effective in control of postoperative pain and
alveolar osteitis than povidone iodine when used for irrigation during the surgical removal of lower third molars.
