Anatomo-clinical correlations regarding healing of postextractional alveolar osteitis in the presence of some therapeutic agents

If for the majority of patients tooth extraction seems a simple and quick maneuver, for dentists and oral and maxillofacial surgeons it represents a surgical procedure that involves local and/or general risks and therefore requires a set of important precautions and practical knowledge. Even today it is still unclear why only certain patients develop alveolar osteitis in selected alveoli, despite abidance by the rules of asepsy and antisepsy, the correct surgical techniques and subsequent care. Anatomo-pathological examination in alveolar osteitis reveals a number of extremely important morphological issues.
