Another approach to prevent dry socket is to be careful to cause less damage to the bone. In view of the relatively low incidence of dry socket in our patients (about 0.97%), we believe that our prevention procedures have been effective in clinical practice.In addition to prevention, it is fundamental to cure this complication; thus, a patient who presents with dry socket must be examined daily, and the alveolus must be slightly irrigated with bactericidal solutions to remove food remains, osseous and dental remains, or foreign bodies that could interfere with the clotting process and/or facilitate infection.
