Antibiotics can aid endodontic therapy locally, systemically, or prophylactically. Judicious use is crucial, restricting broad-spectrum antibiotics to preserve effectiveness for severe infections.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Microbiology
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Antibiotic use in endodontic treatment is multifaceted.
  • Local, systemic, and prophylactic applications exist.
  • Current commercial intra-canal antibiotic agents may not be optimal.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline appropriate antibiotic adjuncts in endodontic therapy.
  • To emphasize judicious antibiotic selection and administration.
  • To discourage indiscriminate antibiotic use.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature on antibiotic use in endodontics.
  • Analysis of indications for local, systemic, and prophylactic antibiotic administration.
  • Discussion on the risks of broad-spectrum antibiotic overuse.

Main Results:

  • Local antibiotic medicaments are common but may lack ideal formulations.
  • Systemic antibiotics are indicated for patients with systemic signs of infection.
  • Prophylactic antibiotics are recommended for specific high-risk scenarios.

Conclusions:

  • Antibiotic adjuncts in endodontics require careful consideration of application method and patient factors.
  • Restricting systemic and broad-spectrum antibiotic use is vital for maintaining efficacy.
  • Optimizing antibiotic strategies ensures better patient outcomes and antimicrobial stewardship.
