- Strong Odor and Taste: The paste has a strong odor and taste which may linger. Patients should be advised of this.
- Numbing Effect: The product may cause a numbing sensation in surrounding tissues (tongue, lips, throat) if not carefully applied or if saliva carries it to other areas.

8. Troubleshooting
While Alvocure paste is generally effective, some considerations may arise:
- Strong Taste/Odor: This is a known characteristic of the product. Advise patients that the relief provided often outweighs the temporary unpleasantness. Rinsing with water after a sufficient contact time (e.g., 30 minutes) may help reduce lingering taste, but should not be done immediately after application.
- Excessive Numbing: If the numbing effect spreads beyond the immediate application area, it may indicate over-application or improper placement. Use a smaller amount and ensure precise application.
- Allergic Reaction/Irritation: If a patient experiences burning, severe discomfort, or signs of an allergic reaction, remove the paste immediately and rinse the area thoroughly. Consult with the patient's medical history for known allergies to ingredients like eugenol, butamben, or iodoform.
- Paste Not Staying in Place: Ensure the socket is adequately prepared and dry before application. The fibrous consistency should help with retention.
