I've read freshly drawn blood being used to treat dry socket.

Where did you read that ?

Here's one example...
----quote----
If dry socket develops do a simple trick it works for 99.99% cases,
take a sharp sickle scaler and scrap the gums surrounding socket, let
fresh blood fill the socket, give a pack (wet squeezed gauze)

Have heard of curretting the socket.

This practice is not scientifically sound and strongly
discouraged.  

Do you have any idea how tender a fresh extraction site is ??!!

How about using blood taken from elsewhere on the body with a syringe
then drip onto the cavity?

An just what is that supposed to do ?

It would wash away in just a matter of seconds.

I see no valid treatment with your "approach".

How long does it take for blood to coagulate?

What it the tooth was kept dry for half an hour?

Depends.

It still wouldn't fix your problem.

Kind of a lot of work when Eugenol soaked Nu-Gauze or Septodont's
Alvogyl work fine. What is the benefit? Whose blood?
Newbie@bix.nex - 18 Oct 2008 00:02 GMT
Dry Socket

AKA... Alveolar Alveolitis

>Kind of a lot of work when Eugenol soaked Nu-Gauze or Septodont's
>Alvogyl work fine. What is the benefit? Whose blood?

Even the above is a lot of uncomfortable work IMO.

You have to bring the patient back to remove Iodoform;
have no experience with Alvogyl.

Gently irrigate crypt with 3 % H2O2 diluted with 1/2 warm H2O
from a Monoject 412 syringe to flush out debris.

Gently fill socket with Getz Surgical Dressing <note below**>
from the 'bottom up'; (also use a 412).
Place 2X2 for 3 to 7 min until relief is apparent. Discard.
Gauze is only used to soak up XS and to help prevent taste/swallowing.

**Getz is no longer commercially made to my knowledge.

A local compounding pharmacy makes it for other practitioners
and me. The formula is readily available, and your local 'compounding'
pharmacy should be glad to make it for you.

I have some exposed bits of pulp that sometimes have bled a little
then
healed pink then white or yellow.

What's happening there?

    You have chronic granulation tissue forming--I've seen this
occasionally.  It is NOT normal pulpal tissue.  Why this condition can
apparently continue for quite some time, it is generally infected, and
cannot be considered functionally healed.
    The proper treatment is root canal treatment or extraction.

IME by the time that this flatulently develops, the only rational,
reasonable, and rectifying treatment, is removal.

Fulminating flatulence, forwardly fearful of full
firey flaming flatus.

Don't that just burn yer a.. ?  <hehe>

Sorry, couldn't help myself.

In google groups it says above your message...

Can I ask why you don't want your messages archived?

I found a picture of a pulp polyp which looks like gum tissue in the
middle of the tooth - I don't have that.

Granulation tissue - isn't that the formation of bone?

To the untrained eye maybe.
Self diagnosis is a dangerous thing, even for practitioners.

>Granulation tissue - isn't that the formation of bone?

No, not really.

Infected? Is there some kind of swab test which can test for microbes
or bacteria?

    Since there is no effective treatment except for extraction or root
canal, a swab would be of little utility.  In any case, a bacterial
culture will probably show a variety of both normal resident organisms,
together with probably some infective bugs (mostly strep. sp.)

I tried taking a picture but its blurred. Do I need specialised
equipment?

Your preoccupation with 'fresh blood' suggests a vampyrific interest.

Bwahahaha....

Really, if this worked, it would have been tried long ago, probably when
they were experimenting with sparrow droppings just before amalgam was
discovered.

Try  direct pulp cap with MTA

CA-DDS tired of BS - 25 Oct 2008 02:11 GMT
Yes , foreign dental schools teach about MTA also, they even teach abouth
teeth , can you believe that?

Why not a license for breathing air for foreigners coming to USA?

First that license, after that dental school all over again!

BRAVO US DENTAL BOARDS!

Dear CA-DDS

This guy has been asking this same question for almost a year.
Refuses to post a picture.

Wants to use 'blood' as a 'pulp cap' and refuses
to have professional treatment.

Just wait until you meet Keith P. Walsh.

Seems there was something about macerated frog tissue,
think it was in France, go figure.

Are there any articles using fresh blood as a pulp cap?

Searching google I struggled to find any! Perhaps nobody has tried it!
