“… 9 Pericoronitis treatment is dependent on the severity of infection and recurrence whereby options include antibiotics prescription, operculotomy, and extraction if the infection is recurrent. 15 It was also obvious that nonclinical or social factors still influence prescribing as shown by the case of the son of an elderly patient with diabetes and stents who requested a metronidazole prescription from the dentist. The dentist was willing to write a prescription without physically examining the patient and was consulting the colleagues regarding whether amoxicillin should be alternatively prescribed.…”

Objectives This study aimed to analyze Jordanian dentists’ inquiries on oral infections and antimicrobial prescribing using dental professional WhatsApp groups during coronavirus disease lockdown period. Materials and Methods Three professional WhatsApp groups of Jordanian dentists were reviewed and analyzed for inquiries posted during the period from January to May 2020. Inquiries were sent from patients to their dentists who posted these inquiries to the professional WhatsApp dental groups for consultation and professional advice. All queries regarding oral infections and antimicrobial prescribing were extracted and analyzed. Results Three WhatsApp professional groups with a total numbers of members of 750 dentists who posted queries about their patients were included in this study. Dentist members posted queries about their patients to these professional WhatsApp groups. There was a total of 32 inquiries regarding oral lesions and 11 consultations regarding prescribing and dental management of medically compromised patients giving a total of 43 consultations. Among which there were 19 inquiries on oral infections and 9 inquiries on antimicrobial prescribing giving a total of 28 consultations. Most common inquiries were on bacterial infections (localized dentoalveolar abscess, pericoronitis, cellulitis, and lymphoid hyperplasia of the tongue), viral herpetic infections, and Candida infections (erythematous and pseudomembranous candidiasis). Conclusions Many dental practitioners cannot distinguish the correct diagnostic features of oral infections particularly viral and fungal infections. Continuing education should be considered to focus on clinical manifestations of various oral infections. Further, educational activities that focus on variations in treatment protocols for various infections should be introduced particularly those that concern indications for antimicrobial prescribing.

A review of the records of patients who had undergone tooth extraction in Saveetha Dental College between June 2019 to March 2020 was retrieved. Data was then analyzed for patients who had undergone full mouth extractions. Data was cross-tabulated based on gender. A total of 4539 patients had undergone extractions. Most of the patients were above the age of 40. There was a slightly higher predilection of males who had undergone extractions compared to females. 2.8% of the population had undergone full mouth extraction.
