  • Title: Antibiotic prophylaxis in dental surgery.
    Author: Walters H.
    Journal: Dent Update; 1997 Sep; 24(7):271-6. PubMed ID: 9515340.
    Abstract:
    Prevention of infection can be a minefield of uncertainty. There is little consensus of opinion on the objective criteria for diagnosing wound infection, and experts disagree on whether antibiotics should be routinely provided as prophylaxis in dental surgery. This article sets out the arguments for and against the prophylactic use of antibiotics in dental procedures.
