Summary

This study examines the efficiency of diode laser therapy to manage dry sockets after tooth extraction.

Detailed description

The study compares the efficiency of diode laser therapy and using only alveogyl to accelerate the healing of dry sockets after tooth extraction in smokers. Smoker patients with dry sockets were enrolled randomly into two different groups. Group 1 received dual wavelength laser diode therapy, three times per week. While group 2 received only a topical application of alveogl. The treatment lasted for two consecutive weeks. The treatment efficiency was evaluated by measuring the volume of the socket using the syringe method. The pain level was measured by the visual analog scale.

Conditions
