Clinical Trial: Chlorhexidine Versus Normal Saline Socket Irrigation for Prevention of Dry Socket After Lower Wisdom Tooth Extraction

U.S., Sept. 12 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07814430) titled 'Chlorhexidine Versus Normal Saline Socket Irrigation for Prevention of Dry Socket After Lower Wisdom Tooth Extraction' on Sept. 05.

Brief Summary: Dry socket, also called alveolar osteitis, is a painful complication that can occur after tooth extraction, particularly following removal of impacted lower wisdom teeth. It occurs when the blood clot that normally forms in the extraction socket is lost or breaks down, resulting in pain and delayed healing.
