The purpose of the present review was to explore the pathogenesis and etiology of alveolar osteitis (AO) to obtain a more intuitive understanding of the clinical prevention and management of the condition. The different treatment modalities were discussed through both the mechanistic understanding of AO and the evidence regarding the different modes of prevention and management.
The Ovid Medline, PubMed, and Cochrane Central Register online databases were used to complete an advanced search using the MeSH term "dry socket," generating 756 results.
A total of 8 studies on the prevention of AO were included, with 66 studies included for review of the reported data overall. The information was categorized into incidence, etiology and pathogenesis, prevention, and management. The relevant background information and evidence for each category were summarized.
Understanding of the pathogenesis and etiology of AO has improved in recent years, which has been helpful for developing effective evidence-based treatment and prevention of the condition. Clinicians should be aware of the complexity and multifactorial nature of the etiology of AO and the current concepts regarding the prevention and treatment of AO.
本综述的目的是探讨牙槽骨炎（AO）的发病机制和病因，以便更直观地了解该病的临床预防和管理。通过对AO的机制理解以及不同预防和管理模式的证据来讨论不同的治疗方式。
使用Ovid Medline、PubMed和Cochrane Central Register在线数据库，使用医学主题词“干槽症”进行高级检索，产生756条结果。
总共纳入了8项关于AO预防的研究，总体上有66项研究纳入以审查报告的数据。信息分为发病率、病因和发病机制、预防和管理。对每个类别的相关背景信息和证据进行了总结。
近年来对AO发病机制和病因的理解有所改善，这有助于制定有效的循证治疗和预防该病的方法。临床医生应意识到AO病因的复杂性和多因素性质以及当前关于AO预防和治疗的概念。
