Summary
Responsible antimicrobial prescribing is crucial to combat antimicrobial resistance. This article offers guidelines for appropriate antimicrobial use in managing periodontal diseases.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Periodontology
- Microbiology
Background:
- Antimicrobial resistance is a growing global health concern.
- Responsible antimicrobial prescribing and appropriate use are essential.
- Periodontal diseases require careful management strategies.
Purpose of the Study:
- To provide an overview of antimicrobial prescribing in periodontal disease management.
- To offer simple guidelines for appropriate antimicrobial use.
- To address concerns regarding antimicrobial resistance in dental practice.
Main Methods:
- Literature review on antimicrobial resistance and periodontal disease management.
- Synthesis of current guidelines and best practices for antimicrobial prescribing.
- Development of practical recommendations for clinicians.
Main Results:
- Antimicrobial resistance necessitates judicious antimicrobial selection and administration.
- Specific periodontal conditions may benefit from antimicrobial therapy.

The formation of teeth, also known as odontogenesis, is a complex process that begins in utero, around the sixth week of embryonic development. There are three stages to this process: the bud stage, the cap stage, and the bell stage.
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin...

The oral microbiome includes a complex ecosystem comprising over 700 microbial species, identified through genomic sequencing and culture-based analyses to date. This community includes a core microbiome, found universally among individuals, and a variable component influenced by environmental factors such as diet, lifestyle, and host genetics. Site-specific conditions, including oxygen gradients, pH levels, and nutrient availability, determine the spatial distribution of these microorganisms...

The human tooth enables us to eat a variety of foods, speak clearly, and even aid in shaping our faces. Teeth are composed of various elements that work together. Here's a detailed look at the anatomy of a human tooth.
The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or...

Medical treatment strategies for peptic ulcers encompass various methods. The primary goal of treatment is to diminish gastric acidity and strengthen mucosal defense mechanisms.
The therapeutic approach involves ensuring adequate rest, implementing drug therapy, promoting smoking cessation, making dietary modifications, and emphasizing long-term follow-up care.

01:20Drugs for Peptic Ulcer Disease: Prostaglandin Analogs as Mucosal Protective Agents
1.7K
The gastric mucosa produces prostaglandins E2 (PGE2) and prostacyclin (PGI2), crucial in maintaining gastric health. They exert cytoprotective effects, including increasing bicarbonate secretion, releasing protective mucin, reducing gastric acid output, and preventing harmful vasoconstriction. These effects are mediated through various receptors, such as EP1, EP2, EP3, and EP4.
