Efectividad del uso de antibióticos en infecciones Odontogénicas primarias

ABSTRACT: Dentists prescribe antibiotics to treat, control, and prevent dental infections. However, unnecessary use and overprescribing have triggered consequences associated with systemic antibiotics, mainly bacterial resistance. This research aimed to determine guidelines and clinical standards of dental medical associations for the use of antibiotics in primary odontogenic infections, identifying guidelines for administering antibiotic prophylaxis in patients with risk factor conditions, to face this global problem of antimicrobial resistance, finally compile guidelines for prescribing antibiotics in localized odontogenic infections of pulp and periapical origin. The research method was based on searching for clinical practice guidelines and indexed articles on antibiotic prescription in dentistry, using databases such as Pubmed, Science Direct, and Google Scholar. A total of 118 articles in English and Spanish were included, with an average citation count more significant than 1.5, the journal's positioning in the Scimago Journal Ranking (SJR), and the exclusion and inclusion criteria. The results revealed that different guidelines agree in prescribing antibiotics for therapeutic use strictly in systemic involvement (fever, malaise) and spread of infection (pronounced edema, cellulitis, limited mouth opening, dysphagia, lymphadenopathy). There are circumstances where the patient's immune defenses are unable to control the infection. It was concluded as a rule for administering antibiotics to systemic involvement and spread of infection and prescribing antibiotic prophylaxis only to patients with conditions of acquiring infective endocarditis and high-risk immunosuppression.
