Abstract
Clindamycin and other agents were compared for efficacy in preventing the entity "dry socket." A total 765 patients were treated with clindamycin, per os, and 408 patients were treated with other antibiotics or were non-treated controls. All patients underwent surgical removal of impacted mandibular third molars. The incidence of dry socket in untreated control and in non-clindamycin antibiotic-treated patients varied from 15 to 31 percent, while in those patients receiving clindamycin, the incidence was 0.65 percent. The results demonstrate a remarkable effectiveness of clindamycin in reducing the incidence of dry socket following surgical removal of impacted mandibular third molar.
