Abstract

Aim

The aim of the present study was to investigate current trends in antibiotic prescription behavior among dentists performing implant surgery.

Methods

A cross-sectional observational study was conducted among 133 dental specialists in Saudi Arabia. A self-administered questionnaire comprising of 21 questions related to basic demographic details (ie, sex, age, nationality, undergraduate training, type of specialty, clinical, and implant practice experience) made up the first part of the questionnaire. The second part of the questionnaire consisted of 12 close-ended questions concerning knowledge and opinions of the dental specialists related to antibiotic prescription patterns pre- or post-implant surgeries. Data were compiled and analyzed using SPSS version 20. Descriptive statistics were employed to calculate the means and percentages for demographic data and preoperative and postoperative antibiotic-prescribing habits in dental implant placement.

Results

All practicing dentists prescribed antibiotics preoperatively prior to routine dental implant placement; 41.4% (N = 55) of participants were in favor of recommending antibiotics after routine dental implant placement (postoperatively).

Conclusion

Antibiotic-prescribing patterns in implant surgery among Saudi dentists are diverse and inconsistent. Further studies are required to investigate the effect of prophylactic antibiotics in lowering the risk of implant failure.

目前趋势抗生素处方行为在沙特牙医进行种植手术:横断面观察性研究

目的本研究的目的是调查目前牙医在进行种植手术中抗生素处方行为的趋势。方法对沙特阿拉伯133名牙科专家进行横断面观察研究。问卷的第一部分是一份自我填写的问卷，包含21个问题，涉及基本人口统计信息(即性别、年龄、国籍、本科培训、专业类型、临床和种植体实践经验)。问卷的第二部分包括12个封闭式问题，涉及牙科专家对种植体手术前后抗生素处方模式的知识和意见。使用SPSS version 20对数据进行整理和分析。采用描述性统计方法计算人口统计学数据和种植牙术前、术后抗生素处方习惯的均值和百分比。结果所有执业牙医均在常规种植牙术前开抗生素处方;41.4% (N = 55)的参与者赞成常规种植牙(术后)后推荐抗生素。结论沙特牙科医生种植外科抗生素处方模式多样且不一致。预防性抗生素在降低种植体失败风险方面的作用有待进一步研究。

期刊介绍： Journal of Investigative and Clinical Dentistry (JICD) aims to publish quality, peer reviewed original research and topical reviews on all aspects of investigative and clinical dentistry and craniofacial research, including molecular studies related to oral health and disease. Although international in outlook, the Editor especially encourages papers from the Asia Pacific. The journal also aims to provide clinicians, scientists and students of dentistry with a knowledge transfer platform for rapid publication of reports through an international journal, which will be available free online until 2012. Its scope, therefore, is broad, inclusive and international, but with a particular focus on Asia Pacific. The Editor welcomes manuscripts in the following key thematic areas in oral and maxillofacial sciences: Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology, Conservative Dentistry, Dental Biomaterials, Dental Pedagogy, Endodontics and Traumatology, Implant Dentistry, Oral Biosciences, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology and Oral Microbiology, Orthodontics, Oral Radiology, Oral Rehabilitation, Paedodontics, Periodontology and Periodontal Medicine.
