Complex systematic review ‐ Perioperative antibiotics in conjunction with dental implant placement

Abstract

Antibiotic prophylaxis in conjunction with implant placement reduced the risk for implant loss by 2%. However, the sub-analysis of the primary studies suggests that there is no benefit of antibiotic prophylaxis in uncomplicated implant surgery in healthy patient.

Antibiotika in der Implantologie

“…Unter Berücksichtigung der potenziellen Nebenwirkungen und möglichen Resistenzbildungen beim Einsatz von Antibiotika in der Zahnmedizin ist grundsätzlich Zurückhaltung angezeigt. Antibiotika sollten immunkompromittierten Patienten und Patienten mit manifester Infektion vorbehalten sein [19,26]…”

A review on the prevention of inflammatory periimplant diseases

“…[84] Available data indicate that a single dose of 2 g of amoxicillin administered 1 hour before surgery is the regimen of choice for dental implant surgery with no need of further postoperative doses. [9,85] Long-term prevention of IPD requires a patientspecific maintenance program aimed at maintaining a healthy periimplant mucosa and promptly treating sites where periimplant mucositis occurs. [86] Dental implant maintenance should include optimized daily oral hygiene, periodic implant examination and reevaluation of patientspecific risk factors, and periodic professional oral hygiene maintenance.…”
