Description
🧾 Description & Intended Use
-
The product is listed in dental supply catalogs in Pakistan as “Alvo Plus (Dry Socket Paste) 12 g – Greentech”.
-
It is used as a post-extraction dressing / dry socket treatment, filling the extraction socket to provide analgesic, antiseptic, and protective action.
-
One supplier in Karachi lists its composition as: Butamben 26 %, Iodoform 16 %, Eugenol 14 % + excipients.
-
Another product category “Alvo paste 5 g” also appears in Pakistani dental supply sites as “Dry Socket Treatment and Post extraction Dressing, antiseptic, Hemostatic and Analgesic paste.”
So in short: Alvo Plus seems to be a fibrous paste you place into the socket after extraction, to relieve pain and reduce infection/irritation during healing.

Advantages & What It’s Good For
-
Offers combined pain relief + antimicrobial action, which is desirable in managing dry socket (alveolar osteitis).
-
The fibrous structure helps it stay in place, avoiding quick displacement, which can be an issue in oral cavities.
-
If the “one-step, self-eliminating” nature is accurate, it reduces need for repeated re-dressing.
-
Locally available in Pakistan via Greentech dental supply channels, which is convenient for local dentists.
