    • Dry socket (alveolar osteitis) is a frequent complication following tooth extraction.
    • The exact causes of dry socket remain poorly understood, leading to varied treatment approaches.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore the probable etiologies of dry socket.
    • To discuss effective prevention and management strategies for dry socket.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of existing studies on dry socket.
    • Analysis of current prevention and management techniques.

    Main Results:

    • Etiology of dry socket is multifactorial, involving factors like fibrinolysis and bacterial contamination.
    • Successful management often involves pain control, wound cleaning, and protective dressings.
