Abstract:

Complications, such as swelling, bleeding, infection, and dry socket, may occur after tooth extraction. Dentists often apply antibiotic treatment to reduce or prevent these complications. However, whether to use antibiotics during the perioperative period of tooth extraction remains controversial. Amoxicillin and amoxicillin/clavulanate combinations are the most frequently used antibiotics in the perioperative period of tooth extraction. No clear evidence has shown that the using time of antibiotic administration (preoperative, postoperative, or both) has significant effect on complication prevention, but the median postoperative duration is always 3-4 days after operation. The use of antibiotics depends on patients’ general condition and the locations of affected teeth during the perioperative period of tooth extraction. This review mainly focuses on antibiotic types, use principles, time, methods, and antibiotic administration to provide reference for alleviating complications after tooth extraction.

Key words: antibiotic, tooth extraction, postoperative complication
