Antibiotics have improved health outcomes since the discovery of penicillin and its widespread use during WW II. However, their overuse and misuse has now threatened their effectiveness and led to superbug infections that are untreatable, as well as an increase in antibiotic associated Clostridium difficile infections. This training will provide antibiotic stewardship guidance and cover the risks of inappropriate antibiotic use, including antibiotic resistance. It will also review the latest ADA Clinical Practice Guidelines related to when antibiotics are appropriate for patients with odontogenic infections. Prescribing recommendations as well as when and why antibiotics are indicated or not indicated will be covered. Sample prescriptions will be provided. The topic of antibiotic prophylaxis related to prosthetic joints, cardiac conditions, bone marrow transplants and many other medical conditions will be covered so you will be confident you are treating these patients appropriately. Additionally, best practices for antibiotic use for extractions, minor oral surgery, implant placement and periodontal therapy will be reviewed.
