Comparative Efficacy of Amoxicillin, Metronidazole, and Chlorhexidine in Preventing Alveolar Osteitis
This study will compare the effectiveness of amoxicillin, metronidazole, and chlorhexidine in preventing alveolar osteitis (dry socket) following lower third molar extraction. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: amoxicillin, metronidazole, or chlorhexidine. Participants will be assessed on Days 3 and 7 after extraction for the presence or absence of alveolar osteitis and postoperative pain. The study will determine whether there is a difference in the incidence of alveolar osteitis among the three treatment groups.
Patients aged 18 to 40 years. [+3]
Known allergy or drug hypersensitivity reaction to amoxicillin or metronidazole. [+2]
