  • Title: [The therapy of odontogenic abscesses. Pharmacological experimentation with lincomycin or amoxicillin].

    Journal: Minerva Stomatol; 1991 Mar; 40(3):129-37. PubMed ID: 1870549.
    Abstract:
    A clinical and microbiological study was carried out to assess the therapeutic efficacy of two different antibiotics, lincomycin and amoxicillin, in the treatment of patients suffering from odontogenic abscesses. Microbiological analyses revealed that the majority of infections were supported by mixed aerobic and anaerobic bacterial flora. The assessment of clinical parameters clearly showed that patients receiving pharmacological treatment with lincomycin achieved a more rapid and efficacious recovery from disease in comparison to patients treated with amoxicillin.
