Honey dressing vs. Alvogyl for dry socket healing
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a pure honey dressing works better than a standard treatment (Alvogyl) for healing dry socket, a painful condition after a tooth extraction. It may offer a natural alternative to help with pain and healing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests if a gel containing chlorhexidine (an antiseptic) and hyaluronic acid (a moisture-retaining substance) helps your gums heal better after having a lower wisdom tooth removed. It's for people whose wisdom tooth is only partly through the gum, so the wound can't be fully stitched closed.
This trial compares three treatments for dry socket (a painful condition after tooth removal): Alvogyl, eugenol, and black seed oil. It aims to find the most effective option to relieve pain and help healing.
This trial tests if ozone therapy helps treat dry socket, a painful condition that can happen after a tooth is pulled. If you're between 18 and 60, healthy, and had a simple extraction, you may be eligible.
This study tests if a gel made from cross-linked hyaluronic acid (a natural substance found in the body) can help preserve the jawbone where a tooth is removed, before a dental implant is placed later. It compares this gel to a standard bone graft material.
This study compares different biomaterials (artificial materials that work with your body) placed in the socket after a tooth extraction to see which one works best for healing. You would need to have a non-molar tooth removed and be willing to let researchers track how well different materials help your mouth heal.
This trial tests if adding a special hydrogel to a bone graft material helps preserve the jawbone better after tooth extraction. It is for adults with severe tooth infection or damage who are otherwise healthy.
