| ABSTRACTBackground: Dry socket is a common and unpleasant local complication following the extraction and surgicalremoval of teeth. This study was constructed to prevent or minimize this post operative complication.Material and Methods: 81 patients were involved in this study, divided into two groups, an experimental group: theextraction socket was irrigated intra and immediate postoperatively with 0.5ml/ socket Ciprofloxacin, and a controlgroup: the extraction site was irrigated in the same manner with normal saline.Results: A total of 5 dry sockets were developed in this study, one case in the experimental group, and four cases inthe control group. The incidence rate of dry socket in the experimental group was 2.4% while in the control groupwas 10%.Conclusion: Although the incidence rate of dry socket was reduced from 10% in the control group to 2.4% in theexperimental group, but the statistical analysis showed no significant effect for the Ciprofloxacin in the reduction ofdry socket.Keywords: Dry socket, Ciprofloxacin, incidence, prevention.
