Treatment of post-operative pain
Abstract
The effectiveness of three treatments for alveolar osteitis was compared. It was found that chlorhexidine gluconate mouthwash treatment and 2.5 percent Lidocaine ointment treatment reduced the number of days a patient was symptomatic compared to the conventional eugenol-impregnated iodoform gauze treatment. With the conventional use of eugenol-impregnated iodoform gauze, the severity of the patient's symptoms were reduced more effectively than with the other two treatments, but the symptoms lasted longer.
