 Dry socket, which is medically known as alveolar osteitis, is an unfortunate outcome of a tooth extraction process. It occurs in at least five per cent of all tooth extractions and causes immense pain for the person. The use of socket plug is a viable solution in this case. The instance of dry socket is more common when it comes to the extraction of premolars or molars. After the tooth extraction, there is normally blood clot in that socket. It forms a type of protective barrier for the bones and the nerve endings. If this blood clot washes away for some reason, the critical areas are exposed for liquids, food, and other foreign material in the cavity. It can lead to severe infection and pain for five to six days, along with the really bad breath.  The risk of getting dry sockets after a tooth extraction is higher in the case of smokers, women having oral contraceptives, defective extractions, and patients with a lack of oral hygiene. Using collagen plugs directly in the ext...

 One of the newest innovations in the world of oral surgery is the usage of platelet concentrates for in-vivo engineering of tissues. Platelet concentrates approved by Salvin Dental are the concentrated suspension of the growth factors that are found in the platelets. These function as a type of bioactive surgical additive that is locally applied for the purpose of inducing wound healing. It was back in 1997 when platelet-rich plasma was used for the first time in oral surgery. The way it enhanced the osteoprogenitor cells in the bone graft, and the host bone has earned it a good reputation since that time.  PRF was used for the first time by Choukroun et al. in 2001, particularly in maxillofacial and oral surgery. It is being hailed at present as the next generation of platelet concentrates that have a matrix consisting of fibrin. The inclusion of fibrin makes it easy to prepare and does away with the need for chemical influence on the blood.  Moreover, the natural fram...
