alveogyl may work sometimes.
alternatively you can curette the socket under LA, cause bleeding and than suture it up.
If you are extracting a very badly infected tooth or if the extraction has been traumatic if you suspect that a dry socket might occur than it would be better to suture the extraction wound.
