Abstract
This chapter provides information relative to the prescribing of systemic antibiotics of value as adjuncts to periodontal therapy. The systemic administration of antibiotics may be a necessary adjunct for the control of bacterial infection because bacteria can invade periodontal tissues, thereby sometimes making mechanical therapy alone less effective. The clinical information in this chapter will allow the practitioner to understand and know the indications, contraindications, and protocols for optimizing the use of antibiotics as part of the treatment of periodontal diseases. The prescribing regimen for systemically administered antibiotics is usually by the oral route of administration and depends on the mechanism of action, patient’s health status and history, and clinical presentation. The information in this chapter will provide guidance to clinicians relative to the misuse of antibiotics, which has led to the emergence of resistant microorganisms.
