Efficiency of prophylactic antibiotic coverage prior dental implant surgery
An original research
Keywords:
Antibiotic prophylaxis habits, Oral implant surgery, Postoperative infection, Bacterial resistanceAbstract
Purpose of the present study was to determine whether antibiotic prophylaxis is an effective and popular treatment aid in conjunction with oral implant placement in healthy patients. Observational cross-sectional study was conducted based on a web-survey reported according to the STROBE guidelines. A questionnaire was sent via email to each participant. It contained close-ended and some open-ended questions concerning demographics, antibiotic type, prescription duration and dosage which was analysed statistically using SPSS 25.0. Approximately 84% routinely prescribed prophylactic antibiotics in conjunction with oral implant surgery, 15.6% prescribed antibiotics in certain situations and only 1 did not prescribe antibiotics at all. Overall, 116 respondents prescribed both pre- and postoperative antibiotics, 29 prescribed antibiotics only preoperatively and 14 prescribed antibiotics exclusively after surgery. High range of prophylactic regimens is prescribed and they are not adhering to the new science-based specifications. Guidelines focused on the indications for prophylactic antibiotics among healthy patients are required to prevent bacterial resistance, side effects and costs caused by overtreatment and the irrational use of antibiotics.
