Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 17, Issue 2
Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Antibiotic resistance is an increasingly serious public health problem all over the world. Resistance rates have more than doubled in the past 5 years. Periodontists are notorious in prescribing antibiotics after routine periodontal therapy that has led to the emergence of antibiotic resistant microorganisms. OBJECTIVES: The aim of the study is to evaluate the need of antibiotics in periodontal surgeries in countering postsurgical complication. METHODOLOGY: The patients who were undergoing periodontal surgery were included in the study and were randomly divided into two categories: Group A (antibiotic), and Group B (no antibiotics). Patients were followed up for 1 and 2 weeks after surgery and were evaluated for pain, swelling, infection, delayed wound healing. RESULT: Assessment of postoperative infections was done after 1 and 2 weeks following the periodontal surgical procedure. It was observed that there was no significant difference in the post- operative outcome in both the groups. CONCLUSION: The decision to administer antibiotic therapy following periodontal surgery must be case and patient specific.
