A 15 year old Nigerian girl had extractions of her upper and lower left first premolars for orthodontic reasons. She presented 3 days later with alveolar osteitis of both extraction sockets, which were managed by socket irrigation with warm normal saline and the patient was also placed on tablets Ibuprofen 400mg b.d for 2 days. Twenty days following the extractions, she presented again with erythematous, exuberant inflamed tissue of both sockets, no pus.
