Alveolar osteitis is a common complication occurs after tooth extraction, this complication can affected healthy people although it is cause is unknown. Therefore, alveolar osteitis management has always based on empirical treatment rather than scientific knowledge. The present study detect the efficacy of low levellaser therapy (LLLT) the healing of alveolar osteitis. Materials and methods: Patients who diagnosed with alveolar osteitis at the Al Ameeed dental clinic in AL Ameed University / College of Dentistry were enrolled in a randomized controlled clinical trial. Sixty patients has been divided equally into two groups for received different treatments: the first group received traditional therapy which include socket curettage and irrigation with saline, while the second group received low-level laser therapy. All the dry sockets were assessments on day 0 before intervention and then on day 4th and 7th of follow up. the pain, depth, piresocket inflammation and perisocket tenderness of dry socket were evaluated in each visit. Results: Two therapy groups were established using 60 dry socket patients. The median of pain score, granulation tissue formation, tenderness, inflammation of the socket show there are significant improvement of group II LLLT compared to the conventional treatment. Conclusion: The low-level laser therapy has a superior effect on the reduction period of the healing process of alveolar osteitis. On the other hand the conventional therapy may improve the sign and symptoms of the alveolar osteitis but don’t reduce the time of healing process.

A dry socket is a commonly seen issue that happens throughout the process of wound healing following a tooth extraction. The etiology of this condition is still limited understood, and it frequently manifests in persons who have a state of good health. As a consequence, the management strategies for dry sockets have always depended on practical experience rather than scientific theory. This study aims to assess the efficacy of platelets-rich fibrin (PRF) in treating dry sockets and compare it with traditional therapy methods. A randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted among patients with a dry socket, who were categorized into two treatment groups. In the group I, the conventional treatment was used with performing gentle socket curettage and saline irrigation. The group II was treated with platelet-rich fibrin (PRF); the dry socket patients were examined at day 0 and achieved one of two treatment options, then scheduled follow-up appointments on days 4 and 7 after therapy. The pain score, inflammation and tenderness around the socket, and quantity of granulation tissue formation were assessed, respectively. In total, sixty patients with a dry socket were included in two treatment groups. The results show that The conventional therapy group required more than seven days to reach the same healing phase as group II with PRF-treated socket. It was observed that the PRF-treated group II patients experienced an improvement in pain, tenderness, inflammation and granulation tissue formation. The sockets treated with PRF showed statistically significant improvement in the healing process and granulation tissue formation compared with conventional treatment.
