How common is dry socket after wisdom tooth extraction with bone graft ?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not common at all. You would have to dislodge the entire graft and clot to expose the socket, and the chances of that are virtually nil since you most likely have sutures holding the graft in place.

Most extraction sites heal without complication. Discuss your individualized situation with Oral Surgeon.
