Dry socket, also known as alveolar osteitis, is a painful condition that can occur after tooth extraction. It is characterized by the partial or total loss of the blood clot that forms in the socket after tooth extraction, leading to exposure of the underlying bone and nerve endings. This condition can cause severe pain and discomfort. In this episode, we focus on the pathogenesis, etiology, prevention, and treatment of dry socket with Dr. Jake Stucki (brother of Dr. Grant Stucki), an oral maxillofacial surgery resident in Cleveland at The Case School of Dental Medicine. In our conversation, we discuss the causes of dry socket and possible prevention strategies. We delve into the role of bacteria, poor oral hygiene, surgical trauma, and smoking in its development. We also touch on medications and anatomical factors contributing to this condition, alongside valuable approaches for reducing the risk and managing dry socket. We also highlight seminal work on the subject and provide listeners with key insights from the articles to help them stay ahead of the latest research. Join us for an in-depth and engaging discussion on dry socket, and gain a wealth of knowledge with Dr. Jake Stucki!
