Abstract:
This script gives a pragmatic advice for gen-eral dentists on accurate use of amoxicillin with clavulanic acid considering current liter-ature at acute inflammatory disease. In ab-sence of contraindications a twice daily for- mulation of 1g amoxicillin with clavulanic acid is the first choice for concomitant therapy after treating the cause of inflammation or prophy-laxis. Compared to clindamycin the concen-tration of amoxicillin in teeth and bone (Hallig 2014) is higher and has less gastrointestinal side-effects (Bax 2007). Furthermore it is pre- scribable during pregnancy and lactation. With these advantages amoxicillin with clavulanic acid is the first choice of antibiotics in general dental medicine.
