What are the main symptoms of dry socket?

Dry socket is another type of acute infection of tooth extraction wound. It is more common in the posterior teeth of mandible, especially after the extraction of impacted mandibular third molars. The incidence of dry socket is: mandibular third molars, mandibular first molars, mandibular second molars. Other teeth are rare, and the incidence of anterior teeth is the lowest.

Under normal circumstances, even if the flap osteotomy extraction operation, the wound pain will gradually disappear after 2 to 3 days. If there is severe pain 2-3 days after tooth extraction, and the pain radiates to the ear temporal region, submandibular region or the top of the head, and can not be relieved with general analgesic drugs, then dry socket may occur

Clinical examination showed that the alveolar cavity was empty, or there was putrefaction blood clot, which was gray. The debris covered in the alveolar wall has a bad smell, and the probe can directly touch the bone surface with sharp pain. There is no obvious swelling in maxillofacial region, no obvious limitation in mouth opening, and there may be swelling and tenderness of lymph nodes under the mandible.
