Dr. Vishesh Bhardwaj, Dr. P. Syed Basha, Dr. Manjunath Rai
Abstract: Dry socket is a post operative complication that disrupts healing after tooth extraction. There are various modalities for the treatment of dry socket like use of obtundant, pain reducing dressing such as zinc oxide eugenol dressing, anti - infective agents, anti - fibrinolytic agents and surgical intervention were also encouraged. In this study the efficacy of Curcumin gel will be compared with the Alvogyl in the treatment of dry socket. Method: A total of 30 patients were randomly allocated into 2 groups of 15 each. In Group A, Curcumin oral gel was applied as an intra socket medication whereas Group B was treated with Alvogyl paste. Result: Both the Alvogyl and Curcumin gel had similar beneficial properties in reducing the pain and swelling. Even though 26.7% of participants in Curcumin group had excellent wound healing when compared to 13.3% from Alvogyl group, it was statistically not significant. Conclusion: Both Curcumin gel pastes and Alvogyl provide similar results in terms of pain relief and healing when used for the treatment of dry socket.
