Hi

The brown stuff is to stop infections occuring in the open gum, disgusting i know, but it does work, cant remember what its called, its been a while since i was a dental nurse.

You're probably talking about a product called 'Alvogyl' which is normally used in the treatment of localised osteitis (dry socket)
