I have dry socket and the dentist just packed it and if does feel better. What happens to that gauze . I am afraid to eat because the gauze may fall out.Does it just fall out after a few hours?
The gauze is medicated with a simple form of local anesthetic. It is packed into the socket and it will not likely come out. After a day or two it will need to be removed. If the socket is still painful, the dentist may repack it with fresh medicated gauze. It too will have to be removed after a few days. Eventually, the socket will calm down, and the gauze will not have to be replaced.

What is iodoform used for in dentistry?
Iodoform is mostly used as an antiseptic and for wound debridement. The wound is packed with Iodorform gauze. As the gauze dries, it adheres to dead tissues. When packing is removed, the gauze pulls the dead tissue away, leaving healthy tissue. Since new tissue growth occurs first inside the wound, from the middle to outer edges, the Iodoform gauze helps keep the wound clean as layer after layer of new tissue forms.

Why a gauze is often placed over a burning flame for heating an object?
To prevent flame impingement on the vessel being heated, which could damage the vessel. A flame cannot pass through a gauze (or screen). as a proof you could set up a bunsen burner beneath a wire gauze. Turn the gas on and ignite the gas above the gauze. you will notice the flame will stay above the gauze. If you ignite the flame beneath the gauze and lower the gauze into the flame, the flame will not pass above the gauze. Yet, if you light both below and above the gauze you will have flame on both sides. Indicating that flames impinging on the gauze do not burn the gas completely and the gas will pass through the gauze.
