Antibiotic prescribing in dental implant therapy;
In medicine and dentistry,surgical site infections
(SSIs) can be prevent by having the dose of prophylaxis
antibiotic in the body within 1 hour (up to 2 hours) of
surgery, which is the average time for most antibiotics to
be absorbed into the blood and show peak blood levels
after the first dose.
The drug ofchoice is usually amoxicillin 500 mg, of which 2000 mg is given 1–2 hours prior to implant surgery, followed by 500 mg every 8 hours. If the patient is allergic to penicillin,clindamycin (600 mg as a loading dose 1–2 hours prior to implant surgery, followed by 300 mg every 8 hours) is a suitable substitute.
The 2015 guidelines from the American Dental Association
Council on Scientific Affairs for the use of prophylactic
antibiotics before dental procedures including
implant surgery in patient with prosthetic joint implants
recommend that antibiotic prophylaxis is not required
since current evidence failed to demonstrate an association
between dental procedures and prosthetic joint
infection, it is advised that the dentist use professional
judgment concerning the patient’s needs.
Management of peri-implant diseases;
Since peri-implantitis involves Gram-negative anaerobic
bacteria, with 65% of peri-implant diseases being associated
with biofilm, and a host immune response to the
bacterial challenge [30, 31], treatment options include
adjunctive systemic or locally delivered antibiotics
The Consensus Report of the Sixth European Workshop
on Periodontology suggests that nonsurgical adjunctive
use of local antibiotics could reduce the number of bleeding
sites and their probing depths, but is unpredictable
. Recently Rams et al. reported that many bacteria
responsible for peri-implantitis are resistant to a single
antibiotic (amoxicillin) and recommended a combination
of amoxicillin and metronidazole each 500 mg given
three times a day as being more effective treatment.
Complications of antibiotic prescribing;
Types of complications of systemic antibiotic prescribing
include:
• Gastrointestinal distress including antibiotic-associated
diarrhea
• Induction of bacterial resistance
• Allergic reactions
• Cardiac problems
• Superinfections (genitourinary)
• Liver toxicity
• Renal toxicity
• Dermatologic reactions
• Neurologic reactions
• Drug–drug; drug–food; drug–disease interactions.

Antibiotic prescribing in dental implant therapy;
Systemic antibiotics are prescribed in implant dentistry
for presurgical prophylaxis and the treatment of postsurgical infections and acute infections. or surgical site infections (SSIs) are infections that occur at the surgical site.(SSIs) can be prevent by having the dose of prophylaxis
antibiotic in the body within 1 hour (up to 2 hours) of
surgery, which is the average time for most antibiotics to
