Conference summary
Alveolar Osteitis is one of the most frequent post tooth extraction complications, mainly of mandibular wisdom teeth.
This is characterized by an extraction alveolus lacking a blood clot, accompanied by initial discomfort, which turns into intense and lancing pain.
Although this is a common complication, described in the literature, there is no evidence-based consensus on how to act in its prevention and treatment.
We aim to explore the pathogenesis and etiology of alveolar osteitis in order to understand how to prevent it clinically and when it is present, what are the best therapeutic options to minimize the discomfort it causes to the patient.
