    It is said that after 24hrs salt water gargling should be done otherwise there will be displacement of the clot.

    I think that giving an antibiotic cover at least till the wound closes with the first layer is essential since an open wound is susceptible to more infections

    I dont think there is such concept of gargling with salt water to prevent dislodgement of clot…in fact gargling may lead to displacement of the clot..

    Salt water gargles are advised but this is to be done after 24 hours of extraction….it has a soothing effect

    There is no oral cavity in the world which is with teeth but without bacteria.

    If pre-surgical procedures of oral prophylaxis, oral mouth washes & pre-extraction medication has been used then post extraction medication may be avoided.

    there are many bacteria that have been known to cause systemic disease. Please visit link..

    So giving antibiotics prior to any oral surgical procedure is important. We as dentist will never know if 6 months after an extraction the patient suffers a heart attack / stroke following any septal defect due to the bacteraemia caused by the oral bacteria.

    I think higher the mobility or periapical infection of tooth more the imp of postoperative medication. It takes longer time to heal this lesion. So more chance of getting infection in open wound.

    As a precautionary measure every dentist must necessarily prescribe antibiotic cover both pre and post extraction…SABE is more common than we are aware…

    Research says that extraction of mobile and healthy teeth (without periapical infection) doesnt need antibiotic coverage , the mild bacterimia produced can be covered by body defence . But in private practice we cant take risk so give antibiotic coverage for every case .

    as far as salt water gargle is concerned it has nothing to take wid clot . it is just to keep wound clean that inturn help in healing
