Resum

Introduction: Taking antibiotics to prevent early dental implant failures and postoperative infections is currently a controversial issue. The objective of this study is to analyse the guidelines for the preventive prescription of antibiotics in oral implantology treatments among dentists in the European Union (EU) to find out if there is consensus and if the evidence-based recommendations are being carried out. Methods: A search was carried out in the MEDLINE database (via Pubmed) with the following MeSH terms: “antibiotic prophylaxis survey” OR “antibiotic prophylaxis prescribing habits” AND “dental implant OR oral implant surgery” over the last 10 years (23/02/2010 to 23/2/2020) for articles published in English or Spanish. Results: 7 studies were included, targeting a total of 1,271 respondents, with response ratios of 40.51% ± 23.23. The dosage most described was pre- and post-operative (40.89%). The most widely used antibiotic in any of the regimens was amoxicillin, followed by amoxicillin/clavulanic acid. Conclusions: Despite the limitations of this study, it is reasonable to consider that recommendations based on the most current scientific evidence are not being carried out. Therefore, protocols are required to establish preventive prescription indications for antibiotics for the insertion of dental implants to prevent complications and/or early failures, as well as to minimise the risks inherent in the use of these drugs.
