An Update on Herbal Remedies for Treatment of Alveolar Osteitis: A Narrative Review.
Article in European journal of dentistry, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Abstract: Alveolar osteitis (AO), commonly referred to as dry socket, is a frequent postoperative complication following tooth extractions. It is characterized by acute pain and delayed healing caused by disrupted blood clots and inflammation. Traditional treatments, such as irrigation and medicated dressings, have shown inconsistent success rates. Recently, herbal products have gained attention for their holistic approach in managing AO through their pharmacological properties. This study aimed to comprehensively overview recent clinical studies using herbal products in the treatment of AO. This study also discussed its phytochemical properties, and AO-related pharmacologic action of each herbal product. A literature review was conducted on the databases, consisting of PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar. The articles published from 2010 to 2024 were searched using key terms related to AO. Eight recent articles investigating the clinical efficacy of clove, turmeric, aloe vera, black cumin, and olive oil were selected according to eligible criteria. The findings revealed that these herbal products possess significant therapeutic properties, including anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects, as well as wound-healing enhancement, contributing to improved clinical outcomes in AO management. Herbal products represent a promising alternative or adjunctive approach for the treatment of AO. Their therapeutic potential not only alleviates symptoms but also addresses underlying biological processes essential for tissue regeneration. Further research is recommended to establish standardized protocols and dose standardization, since most herbal products vary in bioactive concentration.
