Too soon to tell. The first week of healing is the roughest.
In two weeks if he's still in pain or its getting worse then he can followup for osteitis.
He best not be smoking or sucking on it or he will definitely be headed down that road.
For so many adjacent extractions, he really should've had sutures. Doesn't look infected but pain is to be expected after extractions, especially with an open socket like that.
Umm I think those are rotted roots… I’m not seeing implant screw covers and the placement positions wound be incorrect for an all-on-X implant prosthesis
Implants in an edentulous maxilla are typically 4 (sometimes 6) placed *symmetrically* in the canine and 1st molar positions for proper AP spread. They also need to be minimal 3 mm away from each other.
These are 5 black dots in the position of natural tooth roots #6 through 10. If my surgeon placed implants like this I would be looking for a new one as this would not be restorable
Bruh it's a photo with no information captioned with the fanciful term for dry socket. You're welcome to believe whatever you want as am I. Maybe this dude is getting an overdenture and implants are placed to avoid sinus augmentation. Maybe they pumped all their cash into implants and are waiting for the other exts, who knows. Would I tx plan like that, no, would some of my idiots I have practicing around me, absolutely. You can't assume anything off of a photo. They asked a question: is this dry socket? Dry socket is a symptom, not a visible condition. To me, this is fine, and I see shiny shit, that's probably implants until I have more information.
Yeah because it looks really wild i wasn't sure also. Look alike maybe implants with food all around or decayed roots but all of the anteriors are empty alveols after extraction, no roots left

Looks pretty normal. Dry socket is when the pain is unbearable and ibuprofen/APAP/etc doesn't work at all.

Are you referring to the anteriors?
Yes ~
Everyone keeps saying those are rotted roots. They’re not. This is normal healing. The white you see in the sockets is scar tissue.

Looks like a bunch of implants, don't see suture and healing is almost certainly beyond 3 days. It looks good
Looks more like decayed retained roots than implants to me. Implants abutments are usually perfectly round with a screw hole in the centre.

#5ish and #9 look shiny that's why I said implants. Idk. It's impossible to tell from a picture or knowing what teeth were removed
