    A 1983 survey found that age, sex, and extraction site influence dry socket (DS) incidence after dental extractions. The study noted a rise in DS cases compared to 1971, possibly due to increased patient awareness of post-extraction discomfort.

    Area of Science:

    • Oral Surgery
    • Dental Public Health

    Background:

    • Dry socket (DS) is a common complication following tooth extractions.
    • Understanding factors influencing DS incidence is crucial for patient management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the influence of clinical factors on dry socket incidence.
    • To compare current DS rates with historical data from 1971.

    Main Methods:

    • A 3-month survey in 1983 examined DS incidence after permanent teeth extractions under local analgesia.
    • Data were compared with a similar 1971 survey from the same hospital.

    Main Results:

    • Age, sex, and extraction site significantly impacted DS incidence.
    • DS incidence increased from 3.0% in 1971 to 4.0% in 1983.

  • The increase was most notable after multiple extractions.

    • Conclusions:

    • Clinical factors continue to play a significant role in dry socket development.
    • The rise in DS incidence may reflect increased patient reporting of post-extraction discomfort.
    • A broad definition of DS, including mild healing disturbances, was used in both surveys.
