Treatment of fibrinolytic alveolitis by a collagen paste (Formula K). A preliminary report

R Mitchell. Int J Oral Maxillofac Surg. 1986 Apr.

Abstract

Treatment of dry socket using a specially formulated collagen paste was found to be more effective than a treaditional method (zinc oxide/oil of cloves). Collagen-treated patients were less likely to return for review, experienced less pain, showed less tissue reaction and required fewer treatments than zinc oxide-treated controls.
