The most common complication following permanent tooth extraction is alveolar osteitis (AO) with the rate of 1% to 4% in non-operative extractions. The rate of AO reaches 5% to 30% in surgical extractions of impacted mandibular third molars. This phenomenon is marked by severe and progressive pain, foul taste, halitosis, and regional lymphadenitis which develop 24 hours to 72 hours after extraction.  AO is self-limited and would resolve within 5 to 10 days after initiation. It should be noted that 45% of cases need up to 4 visits until the complete resolution of AO. While the aim of the healthcare providers is not only to provide treatment but also to bring relief of pain for patient, prevention of AO is one of the challenges oral and maxillofacial surgeons face.  GET PDF LINK 

An operations of oral surgery is relate primarily on the teeth, soft tissue and bone. Despite the advance of restorative dentistry and prosthetic rehabilitation techniques as well as periodontics, the dental extractions still a very common surgical practice in Africa. In certain conditions, despite the perfect knowledge of the practitioner and mastering of the surgical plan, the surgical operations can be delicate and difficult to predict some complications during or after surgery. In the postoperative, the most frequent complications of dental extraction are inflammatory or infectious such as alveolar osteitis (AO), which includes the dry and suppurative alveolitis . This study was initiated to identify 7 groups’ factors of occurrence of AO by a mathematical model of Bayer, which is based on the opinions of experts who use the qualitative data . Clinical interest will be to help the clinicians use a mathematical model for the 7 predictive factors of AO such as non-modified facto...
