ABSTRACT:

Background

Alveolar osteitis(AO) is an inflammatory and painful condition that occurs due to distruption of the fibrin matrix within the extraction socket following tooth extraction. This study investigates the effectiveness of I-PRF in reducing pain in AO patients compared to conventional treatment.

Materials and methods
