THE ROLE OF ANTIBIOTICS IN THE SUCCESS OF DENTAL IMPLANTS

Himabindu R

In the recent years the practice of oral implantology has been expanding widely and is creating an area of interest for the dental practitioners and awareness among the patients. Though the use of prophylactic antibiotics during implant placement still remains controversial, several clinical studies suggest that the use of prophylactic antibiotics significantly improves short and long term implant survival. Also prior to oral surgical procedures patients with risk for developing infectious endocarditis and immuno compromised antibiotic prophylaxis is well recommended.
