Abstract

Introduction: alveolitis is the most common postoperative complication after tooth extraction, especially in immunosuppressed patients.

Aim: characterize alveolitis as one of the main complications following tooth extraction.

Methods: for this purpose, 28 scientific articles on the subject were consulted, obtained from the main databases, and 15 were selected as bibliographical references, according to their relevance and timeliness.

Development: this complication is common in immunosuppressed patients, given the predisposition due to their clinical condition. Smoking and poor oral hygiene are the main associated risk factors, requiring prevention. Its therapeutic management includes cleaning the alveolus, the use of analgesics, antiseptic mouthwashes, and in some cases the use of antibiotics.

Conclusions: dry socket is a significant complication that requires careful and preventative care to avoid its development and ensure proper recovery.
