Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Clinically assess whether patients using prophylactic antibiotic therapy, compared with those who do not, will experience greater loss of implants, less incidence of postoperative infection and less postoperative pain. In addition, to assess whether there will be differences in results using two different antibiotic prophylaxis protocols for the rate of implant loss, for incidence of postoperative infection and pain. To evaluate the differences in means between the control and study groups, as well as between study subgroups, the t test will be used, in which the p value will be fixed at 0.05 to detect the level of statistical significance. The null hypothesis will be that there will be no difference in success and complications between patients who will receive prophylactic antibiotics compared to others who will not use it, against the alternative hypothesis that there will be a statistically significant difference. | — |
