“…On the day of the extraction, a total of 68% of the smokers continued to smoke, while the remaining 40% did not smoke (for the next 72 h). Smokers and patients who had dry alveolus were not significantly associated with one another in any meaningful way (Alsaleh et al, 2018). However, these findings were not similar to what we found in our study.…”

Purpose: There are various factors associated with the incidence of dry socket, which includes operator experience, perioperative crown, and root fractures, periodontal disease, posterior teeth, and, interestingly, the use of mental health medications to be significant independent risk factors for the development of alveolar osteitis. This study aims to determine the risk factors associated with dry socket and to compare the prevalence of dry socket on the basis of gender, smoking habit, systemic condition, extraction site and use of antibiotics. Methodology: This is a retrospective study using the patients’ files at Muneseya campus, Riyadh Elm University. A total of 385 patient files were accessed after seeking approval from the hospital director. Information from patients’ files was recorded including gender, operator’s level, habits, medical history and extraction site. Results: According to the findings, the percentage of male participants was 70.9%, whereas the percentage of female participants was 29.1%. The findings indicate that 25.3% of the population suffers from systemic illness, whereas the remaining 74.7% does not have any systematic disease. Dry sockets, which are caused by inflammation of the alveolus bone, are present in upper teeth 40% of the time, whereas lower teeth inflammation affects 60% of individuals with lower teeth. Unique Contribution to Theory, Policy and Practice: In this study significant differences were observed for dry socket prevalence when compared the groups on the basis of smoking, systemic disease and gender.

“…The first 24 hours after extraction is crucial in healing phase of extraction socket as most of the complications occur in this period. Following post op instructions in this period plays a vital role in preventing adverse effects 11 . Therefore, it was decided to conduct telephonic interview after 24 hours of extraction.…”

Aim: To compare the efficacy between verbal, written & audio-visual modes of communication in relation to post-operative instructions after extraction of teeth. Materials & Methods: Ninety patients were equally divided into three groups. Group 1 were given verbal instructions, Group 2 in written format and Group 3- Audio visual mode. Their responses were recorded using a standard questionnaire after 24 hours of extraction and subjected to statistical analysis. Results: Significant differences (p<0.05) was found when the responses were compared between Group 1 and Group 3 and Group 2 and Group 3. Conclusion: Patients who received post-operative instructions through audio-visual mode (Group 3) had more understanding when compared to other groups. Incorporation of technology in communication has to be encouraged as it helps for better understanding. Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.23 (Special Issue) 2024 p.S48-S52

Objective This study evaluated the effect of smoking on patient-reported postoperative complications after minor oral surgical procedures by comparing the post-extraction symptoms between smokers and nonsmokers. Materials and methods Patients undergoing minor oral surgical procedures were recruited and followed up prospectively on the first, second, seventh, and twenty-first days after simple dental extractions. Results A total of 85 patients completed the study. Postoperative pain, measured with a visual analog scale, was consistently higher among smokers than nonsmokers (P < 0.0001). Patient-reported experience of bleeding events was significantly less among nonsmokers (P = 0.009) only on the first postoperative day. Facial swelling was more common in smokers than in nonsmokers (P = 0.04) on the second postoperative day. Postoperative infection was reported more by smokers than nonsmokers (P > 0.05). Trismus did not vary with time according to smoking status. On the 21st postoperative day, there were no statistically significant differences in postoperative complications between the groups. Conclusions The patient-reported pain score was consistently higher among smokers. The study’s findings suggested that initial differences in patient-reported complications between smokers and nonsmokers undergoing minor oral surgical procedures diminished after a week.
