On the relationship between hydrogen peroxide and dry socket disease
Recently, doctors have been studying the relationship between hydrogen peroxide and dry socket disease. In dry socket disease, common complications after tooth extraction are also common. Patients often feel severe pain in the wound, slow healing, and miserable.
Hydrogen peroxide, with strong oxidation, is commonly used in oral treatment. It is said that it has good debridement and disinfection power, which can remove foreign bodies and bacteria from the wound and help the wound heal. However, there are doubts about whether it should be used.
Some doctors have observed that rinsing with hydrogen peroxide in tooth extraction can quickly clear necrotic tissue and reduce the risk of infection. However, if it is used too much or the concentration is improper, it will harm the wound. Hydrogen peroxide is decomposed to produce oxygen, which may cause pressure rise in the wound, damage the new granulation tissue, hinder healing, and increase the incidence of dry socket.
There are also clinical experiments. One group was rinsed with an appropriate amount of hydrogen peroxide after tooth extraction, and the incidence of dry socket was low; the other group was used carelessly, with high concentration or frequent rinsing, and the incidence of dry socket was significantly higher.
In summary, hydrogen peroxide is used in the treatment of tooth extraction wounds, with advantages and disadvantages coexisting. When used properly, it can help the wound to heal; if used inappropriately, the risk of dry socket will increase. Doctors should choose the concentration and usage of hydrogen peroxide according to the patient's situation, in order to heal the wound and reduce the disturbance of dry socket.
