- Title
The Management of Infections and the Use of Antibiotic Prophylaxis by Dentists: A Review of the Evidence.
- Authors
Maranon, George
- Abstract
Dentistry plays an important role in managing the antibiotic resistance problem. Guidelines for the use of antibiotics for prevention of endocarditis, prosthetic joint infections and other medical conditions have changed frequently. Unfortunately, the original guidelines and subsequent changes were often made through consensus opinions and not evidence based. Clinical decisions on the use of antibiotics must be made on the basis of the scientific evidence with knowledge of the most current guidelines and indications.
