Sumario:PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to report a comparison between the zinc oxide eugenol dressing and plasma rich in growth factor (PRGF) with gelatin sponge in the treatment of dry socket. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study comprised of 45 patients of dry socket in the span of one year. The patients were randomly divided into three groups on the basis of treatments: Group A (PRGF with gelatin sponge), group B (zinc oxide eugenol group), and group C (irrigation with sterile saline only). The clinical progress was noted at 1(st), 2(nd), 3(rd), 7(th), and 15(th) day after the treatment. RESULTS: Patient's healing was better in group A than in group B but symptomatic pain relief was faster in group B. Group C fared worst in both aspects. CONCLUSION: We conclude that PRGF with gelatin sponge might be a treatment of choice in the management of dry socket.
