“Manejo antibiótico de infecciones odontogénicas en la unidad de atención odontológica, UNACH 2019”

The present research refers to the antibiotic management based on literature review for odontogenic infections in a dental care treatment. The aim was to determine the types of antibiotics used in the treatment of odontogenic infections by identifying the most recurrent infections in the dental practice. Also, to establish whether the prescription of antibiotics is correct. The sample was intentional and non-probabilistic that included 100 scientifically validated papers with an ACC greater than 1.50 related to the research topic. They showed a valid SJR impact factor with 2010 and 2019 years of publication. The papers came from scientific journals found in different databases such as Google Scholar, PubMed, Elsevier, Scielo, and World Wide Science. The information collection was systematized, exhaustively reviewed and completed for a meta-analysis study. In other words, it became a literature review research with a characterization matrix and a review table. The data collection was relevant, the results indicated that the most used antibiotics are divided in two groups based on the presence of allergy to penicillins. For example: non allergic patients are mainly prescribed amoxicillin with clavulanic acid; meanwhile allergic patients are commonly administered amoxicillin with metronidazole, clindamycin, and azithromycin. It could also be identified that the most recurrent infections are pulp necrosis, periodontal abscess, necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis, periapical abscess, periodontitis and periimplantitis. Finally, it could be concluded antibiotic prescription as a bad practice, which provokes fatal consequences.
