MACIN-CABRERA, Susana Aurora; SANZ ALONSO, Mariano  e  QUIRINO-BARREDA, Carlos Tomás. Antimicrobial prophylaxis in Dentistry and its applicatoin in Periodontics. Rev Cubana Estomatol [online]. 2006, vol.43, n.1, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-297X.

The information published in the last years in relation to the appropriate use of antimicrobial prophylaxis (AP) in dental practice, in general, and in periodontal procedures, in particular, is analyzed. The data presented show the current use of AP that is subject to a series of criteria, such as the type of operation or odontological procedure, the level of infection risk  per individual according to pathology, age, physiological condition, the site of the wound or of the surgical excision and if  it is in a clean or contaminated zone, as well as the habitual microbial flora and the susceptibility of the microorganisms to the antimicrobial agents. All this will determine the adequate posology not to generate bacterial resistance.

Palavras-chave : Antimicrobial prophylaxis; antibiotics; periodontal surgery; odontology; dentistry.
