  1. See Also
    1. Tooth Extraction
  2. Epidemiology
    1. Complicates 5-20% of Tooth Extractions
  3. Pathophysiology
    1. Blood clot is lost prematurely at the extraction site
    2. Painful, localized Bone Infection at the extraction site
  4. Risk Factors
    1. Posterior mandibular teeth
    2. Advanced age
    3. Tobacco Smoking
    4. Poor Oral Hygiene
  5. Symptoms
    1. Precautions
      1. Trismus is not typically present
        1. Consider alternative diagnosis (e.g. dental abscess)
    2. Severe Dental Pain
      1. Onset 3-4 days after Tooth Extraction (delayed beyond typical post-extraction pain)
      2. Not relieved with Acetaminophen and NSAIDS
    3. Halitosis
  6. Management
    1. Anesthetize the area
      1. See Inferior Alveolar Block
      2. See Periapical Block (Supraperiosteal Dental Anesthesia)
    2. Protect the socket
      1. Flush the socket with saline
      2. Apply Dry Socket paste
    3. Course
      1. Expect pain improvement within 20 minutes of applying paste
      2. Paste typically lasts for 5 days, but reapplication may be needed sooner
    4. Additional Measures
      1. Analgesics
      2. Antibiotics may be indicated

Alveolar periostitis (C0013240)

Definition (MSH) A condition sometimes occurring after tooth extraction, particularly after traumatic extraction, resulting in a dry appearance of the exposed bone in the socket, due to disintegration or loss of the blood clot. It is basically a focal osteomyelitis without suppuration and is accompanied by severe pain (alveolalgia) and foul odor. (Dorland, 28th ed)
