Dentoalveolar surgery is very important aspect of oral and maxillofacial surgery that concentrates on routine issues such as extractions, bone contouring, and minor soft tissue repairs. Bleeding after a surgery or the extraction of tooth is major complication. Dental dressings are used to control bleeding and to protect the wound surface from further injury.

Dental wound dressings are also used to clean wounds during
a surgery. However, the type of dressing depends on various factors such as the
type of injury, location, and severity of injury. A temporary dressing is a
dental filling which is not intended to last in the long term. They are interim
materials which may have therapeutic properties. Bismuth Iodoform Paraffin
Paste still continues to be widely used in an oral and maxillofacial surgery for
nasal packing and wound dressing. Although side effects have been reported, but
they are rare.
Thus, with the high prevalence of dental diseases and
increasing number of dental surgeries around the world, the demand for dental
wound dressings is also increasing with a rapid pace. Oral diseases pose a
major health burden for many countries and affect people throughout their
lifetime, causing pain, disfigurement, discomfort, and even death. According to
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than one in four
(around 26%) individuals in the United States have untreated tooth decay.
In some cases, the tooth will be damaged beyond repair and
will require surgical extraction. Surgical tooth extractions are actually the
most common surgical procedure in the United States While, more than 46% of all adults aged 30
years or older show signs of gum disease; severe gum disease affects about 9%
of adults. Severe gum disease may require surgery if it cannot be cured with
antibiotics or root planing and scaling. This in turn is expected to increase
the demand for dental wound dressings in the U.S.
