Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the dry socket incidence after extraction in the lower jaw. Study design: A Retrospective Study. Location and Duration: In the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (OMS) of Nishtar Institute of Dentistry, Multan for three year period November 2015 to November 2018. Methods: Hospital records of all patients who underwent a tooth extraction with a forceps I were examined to determine the complications of the dry socket. Patients who were medically compromised and third molar extraction patients were excluded from the study. Results: During a total of 32811 simple tooth extractions in the three-year period, 1163 (3.5%) of the extraction cases, 696 (2.1%) of the lower jaw and 467 (1.4) were exposed to a dry socket. %) at the top; the difference between the lower and upper limits was statistically significant (p = .0001). The mean age of the patients with dry socket was 33 to 17 years. 1163 patients with dry socket; 429 were male and 734 were female; A ratio of 1: 1.7 is shown (p.0001). Conclusion: It was concluded that the incidence of dry jaw was significantly higher in the lower jaw than the upper jaw (p = 0001). Similar; the incidence of dry intake was significantly higher in women than in men. Key Words: dry socket, tooth extraction, lower jaw.
