Gelfoam is indicated after a dental extraction if the root was touching the sinus, and the extraction made an opening in the sinus floor. The gelfoam would help in a quicker and more efficient healing of the sinus floor. Some dentists also use an antibiotic coated gelfoam to put in the extraction site even if there is no opening with the sinus.
The usual dosage of gelfoam is anywhere under 50 grams per day. Anything over 50 grams per day can prove to be unsafe and in some cases, lethal.
