Assessment of Ozone Therapy for Management of Post-Extraction Localized Alveolar Osteitis
Sponsor: Menoufia University
Summary
This clinical study investigates the effectiveness of ozone therapy in comparison to conventional treatment for alveolar osteitis (AO), a common painful complication following tooth extraction. Forty patients diagnosed with dry socket will be randomly divided into two groups. Group A will receive traditional treatment with normal saline irrigation and analgesics, while Group B will be treated using ozonated water, ozonated gel, and analgesics. Both groups will be monitored over a two-week period to evaluate pain levels, healing progression, and other clinical indicators. The study aims to assess the palliative and regenerative benefits of ozone therapy in managing AO, potentially offering an alternative to conventional symptomatic treatments.

Interventions
Topical Ozone Therapy
The intervention involves local application of ozone in two forms: Ozonated Water - used for irrigation of the extraction socket. Ozonated Gel - applied topically inside the socket to promote healing and reduce pain. Both are used after socket debridement and bleeding provocation, followed by standard analgesic administration (Diclofenac potassium).
Irrigation with saline
