Dry socket, or alveolar osteitis, is one of the most painful and frustrating complications after tooth extraction - particularly following the removal of wisdom teeth. It occurs when the protective blood clot at the extraction site dissolves prematurely, leaving the bone and nerves exposed. This results in intense pain, heightened sensitivity, and a slower healing process that can disrupt both patients' comfort and your clinic's efficiency.
Enter Alvo-G Fibre - a powerful fibrous paste formulated specifically for dry socket management and post-extraction site protection.
What Is Alvo-G Fibre?
Alvo-G Fibre is a pre-mixed, ready-to-use dressing paste made of fibrous iodoform, designed to pack easily into the socket and stay securely in place. The formula includes anesthetic and antiseptic agents like eugenol, butamben, and iodoform, offering immediate pain relief while promoting rapid healing and infection control.
Clinical Benefits at a Glance:
✔️ Instant and long-lasting pain relief from dry socket
✔️ Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory action to prevent infection
✔️ Smooth, thick consistency that adheres well to the socket
✔️ No sutures or daily replacement required
✔️ Accelerates natural healing while keeping the area protected
✔️ Suitable for use in both upper and lower sockets
Indications:
-
Dry socket (alveolar osteitis) treatment
-
Post-extraction socket dressing
-
Can be used proactively in high-risk extractions to prevent complications
How It Works:
Once applied, the fibrous structure of Alvo-G Fibre allows it to conform to the socket walls, ensuring a snug and stable fit. It not only soothes the exposed nerve endings but also acts as a barrier against bacteria, saliva, and food particles, reducing the need for repeated visits and complex interventions.
Why It Matters for Your Practice:
As clinicians, we know how disruptive dry socket can be - both for patient comfort and for clinic workflow. With Alvo-G Fibre, you can resolve the issue quickly, effectively, and with minimal follow-up. It’s a small investment that makes a big difference in post-operative care and patient satisfaction.
Give your patients the comfort they deserve - and give your clinic a smarter, faster way to handle dry socket cases.
