Salgado-Peralvo ÁO, Kewalramani N, Pérez-Jardón A, Pérez-Sayáns M, Mateos-Moreno MV, Arriba-Fuente L. Antibiotic prescribing patterns in the placement of dental implants in Europe: A systematic review of survey-based studies. Med Oral Patol Oral Cir Bucal 2024; 29:e441-e450. [PMID: 38615255 PMCID: PMC11175579 DOI: 10.4317/medoral.26450] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/14/2023] [Accepted: 03/18/2024] [Indexed: 04/15/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The present systematic review aims to investigate the guidelines for prescribing Preventive Antibiotic Therapy (PAT) in the placement of dental implants (DIs) without anatomical constraints in healthy patients by clinicians in Europe and to compare them with current recommendations. MATERIAL AND METHODS A search was performed in 4 databases: Medline (via PubMed), Web of Science, Scopus, and LILACS. The criteria employed were those described in the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis) declaration (PROSPERO Registration number: CRD42022382278). RESULTS The electronic search identified 10 studies published between 2010 and 2023 that met the established criteria. Overall, 60.8% ± 24.1% of European professionals routinely prescribe PAT, with the most frequent regimen being perioperative (mean= 46.7% ± 24.3%), followed by postoperative PAT only (mean= 20.3% ± 9.7%). CONCLUSIONS The most commonly prescribed antibiotic both pre- and postoperatively is amoxicillin and, in allergic patients, clindamycin. In Europe, more doses of PAT are being prescribed than suggested by current recommendations. For this reason, more PAT education is needed in educational curricula to promote a more rational use of antibiotics to reduce the occurrence of antimicrobial resistance.

Does the Prosthetic Phase of Dental Implants Justify the Prescription of Preventive Antibiotics in Healthy Patients? A Systematic Review. J ORAL IMPLANTOL 2023; 49:93-101.

Abstract
Recently published surveys data show that the routine prescription of preventive antibiotics (PA) in the prosthetic phase of dental implants is more common than might be expected. The present study aimed to answer the PICO (population, intervention, comparison, and outcome) question "In healthy patients starting the implant prosthetic phase, does the prescription of PA compared with not prescribing PA decrease the incidence of infectious complications?" by a systematic literature review. A search was performed in 5 databases. The criteria employed were those described in the PRISMA Declaration. Studies included were those that provided information on the need to prescribe PA in the prosthetic phase of implants, that is, in second-stage surgeries, impression-taking, and prosthesis placement. The electronic search identified 3 studies that met the established criteria. The prescription of PA in the prosthetic phase of implants does not show a justified benefit/risk ratio. Preventive antibiotic therapy (PAT) may be indicated in the second stages or in peri-implant plastic surgery procedures lasting more than 2 hours and/or where soft tissue grafts are used extensively. In these cases, given the current lack of evidence, it is recommended to prescribe 2 g of amoxicillin 1 hour before surgery and, in allergic patients, to prescribe 500 mg of azithromycin 1 hour preoperatively.

Abstract
Current patterns of preventive antibiotic prescribing are encouraging the spread of antimicrobial resistance. Recently, the Spanish Society of Implants (SEI) developed the first clinical practice guidelines published to date, providing clear guidelines on how to prescribe responsible and informed preventive antibiotic therapy (PAT) based on the available scientific evidence on dental implant treatments (DIs). The present document aims to summarise and disseminate the recommendations established by this expert panel. These were based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement. Studies were analysed using the Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN) checklist templates and ranked according to their level of evidence. They were then assigned a level of recommendation using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation system (GRADE). Guidelines were established on the type of PAT, antibiotic and dosage of administration in the placement of DIs without anatomical constraints, in bone augmentation with the placement of DIs in one or two stages, placement of immediate DIs, sinus elevations, implant prosthetic phase, as well as recommendations in patients allergic to penicillin. Therefore, the PAT must be adapted to the type of implant procedure to be performed.

Preventive Antibiotic Prescribing Habits among Professionals Dedicated to Oral Implantology: An Observational Study. Antibiotics (Basel) 2021; 10:antibiotics10030301. [PMID: 33799411 PMCID: PMC7999193 DOI: 10.3390/antibiotics10030301] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2021] [Revised: 03/05/2021] [Accepted: 03/12/2021] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
The prescription of preventive antibiotics (PA) in oral implantology is a controversial issue. The study aimed to determine the prescribing habits of PA in professionals dedicated to oral implantology in various treatments in healthy and at-risk patients. This is a cross-sectional observational study based on the STROBE (Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology) guidelines. An electronic survey consisting of 4 blocks of questions was sent to members of the Spanish Society of Implants. The data were analyzed using descriptive analysis. A total of 303 participants (20.8%) responded to the questionnaire. One percent never prescribed PA, 55.4% prescribed them always, and 43.6% prescribed them sometimes. Ninety-six percent administered them preoperatively, while 92.4% administered them postoperatively. The most commonly used antibiotic is amoxicillin followed by amoxicillin with clavulanic acid (875/125 mg). Clindamycin is the most commonly administered antibiotic in patients with allergies. Professionals dedicated to oral implantology frequently prescribe PA in both healthy and at-risk patients, especially perioperatively. Immediate implant placement, sinus lifts, bone regeneration, and multiple implant placement are the treatments in which PA are most commonly prescribed, as well as in patients with heart valve prostheses or a history of bacterial endocarditis and immunodeficiency.

Front Pharmacol 2021; 11:588333. [PMID: 33643035 PMCID: PMC7902906 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2020.588333] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/07/2020] [Accepted: 11/12/2020] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Systemic antibiotic prophylaxis is frequently prescribed by dentists performing dental implant surgery to avoid premature implant failure and postoperative infections. The scientific literature suggests that a single preoperative dose suffices to reduce the risk of early dental implant failure in healthy patients. Material and Methods: A systematic review was made based on an electronic literature search in the PubMed-Medline, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus and Open Gray databases. The review addressed the question: "which antibiotic prophylaxis regimens are being used in dental implant surgery in healthy patients according to survey-based studies?" The identification, screening, eligibility and inclusion phases were conducted according to the PRISMA statement by two independent reviewers. The following data were collected: country, number of surveyed dentists, number of dentists who responded (n), response rate, routine prescription of antibiotic prophylactic treatment (yes, no, or conditioned prescription), prescription regimen (preoperative, perioperative or postoperative) and antibiotic choice (first and second choice). Cohen's kappa coefficient (k) evaluated the level of agreement between the two reviewers. The analysis of risk of bias was performed follow the Joanna Briggs Institute checklist for observational studies. A descriptive statistical analysis was performed to calculate total target sample, sample size and total mean. Results: A total of 159 articles were identified, of which 12 were included in the analysis. Two thousand and seventy-seven dentists from nine different countries on three continents were surveyed. The median response rate was low and disparate between studies. About three-quarters of the surveyed dentists claimed to routinely prescribe systemic antibiotic prophylaxis for dental implant surgery. The prescription regimen was perioperative, postoperative and preoperative, in decreasing order of frequency. The most frequent first choice drug was amoxicillin, with amoxicillin-clavulanic acid as second choice. Conclusions: A majority of dentists from different countries do not prescribe systemic antibiotic prophylaxis for dental implant surgery following the available scientific evidence and could be overprescribing. Efforts are needed by dental educators and professionals to reduce the gap between the use of antibiotic prophylaxis for dental implant surgery as supported by the scientific evidence and what is being done by clinicians in actual practice.

Abstract
This study aimed to assess the dosage and types of antibiotics prescribed in oral implant surgery, compare them among the different subpopulations (country and prescription regimens) and against the evidence-based recommended dosage: a 2-gram single preoperative dose of amoxicillin. A meta-analysis of cross-sectional surveys was conducted, which reports the overall dosage (and type) of antibiotics prescribed in combination with implant placement. PubMed, Cochrane, Science, Direct, and EMBASE via OVID were searched until April 2019. Three reviewers independently undertook data extraction and risk of bias assessment. The outcome variable was set on the average of prophylactic antibiotics prescribed per oral implant surgery. Overall, 726 participants from five cross-sectional surveys, representing five different countries were finally included. Amoxicillin was the most prescribed antibiotic. On average, 10,724 mg of antibiotics were prescribed per implant surgery. This average was significantly (p<0.001) higher than 2,000 mg. Overall, amoxicillin doses were significantly higher than 2,000 mg (9,700 mg, p<0.001). All prescribed amoxicillin regimens independently contained more than 2,000 mg, including those comprising only preoperative amoxicillin (2,175 mg, p = 0.006). Exclusive preoperative antibiotic regimens were the only subgroup with prescription dosages below this threshold (p = 0.091). Significant variations in antibiotic prescriptions were found among different countries and antibiotic regimens (p<0.001). In conclusion, the average dose of antibiotics prescribed per oral implant surgery was larger than the evidence-based recommended dose in healthy patients and straightforward conditions. In addition, variations in the average antibiotic dosages were found among different countries and prescription regimens.

Abstract
The use of antibiotics in implant treatments is controversial. The purpose of this research was to study the behaviors of Santo Domingo dentists who prescribe antimicrobials to patients for the placement of dental implants. A total of 99 dentists participated in the study. A share of 1.2% of dentists prescribed antimicrobials solely in the preoperative period, 8.6% after surgery, 44.4% before and after, 19.8% only in specific situations, and 25.9% did not prescribe at all. Amoxicillin was the predominant antimicrobial of choice. A cross-sectional, observational, survey-based study was conducted. The items studied were demographics, self-assessment of knowledge about antibiotics and when they are used, as well as their recommended dosage and duration, in healthy and non-allergic patients. Notable variability was found in the prescription behaviors of antimicrobials. Bridging gaps in knowledge on the subject could help to standardize prescription guidelines.
