title: [The role of fibrinolysis in the pathogenesis of alveolitis after tooth extraction. Preliminary report].
abstract: We registered fibrinolytic activity of blood within fresh wounds after tooth extractions by means of measuring fibrinolysis in vitro. In cases which later developed alveolitis we found higher degrees of fibrinolysis. Women taking oral hormonal contraceptives showed fibrinolysis to a greater extent than other women or men. We found more fibrinolytic activity in cases with longer extraction times. Possible starting points for prevention of alveolitis are discussed.
