Dental Implants, Antibiotic Prophylaxis

Brief summary

There is no consensus on antibiotic prophylaxis in dental implant applications, and its necessity is controversial. Current reports on antibiotic use are insufficient. Also, other than antibiotic prophylaxis, data that may affect the post-operative situation such as the patient's gender, age, smoking, duration of surgery, length of the operation field, flap design have not been evaluated comprehensively. This study aims to evaluate post-operative complications, implant success, and implant stability in 50 individuals: preoperative single dose of 2 g amoxicillin + clavulanic acid (25) and placebo (25).

Interventions

PROCEDUREDental implant placement

Insertion of not more than two dental implants at the same area

DRUGAntibiotic prophylaxis

Per-os 2g amoxicillin+clavulanic acid will be administered one hour prior to the surgery

OTHERPlacebo

Per-os placebo (inert polysaccharide) will be administered one hour prior to the surgery
