About

This study aims to:

  1. To identify the most common organisms causing dental implant failure.
  2. Set an appropriate antibiotic regimen according to the causative organism to limit the antimicrobial resistance by limit the use of antibiotics.

Full description

Dental implant surgery is a common treatment for replacing missing teeth and has a high success rate. Implant failure is most likely the result of multiple factors as Age, sex, smoking, maxillary implant site, quantity and quality of bone, implant surface treatments and features are some of the statistically examined parameters linked to implant failure. The most frequent and avoidable cause of dental implant failure is infection. A retrospective analysis demonstrated fewer numbers of early implant failures among those that were placed under antibiotic treatments.

Early implant failure is commonly associated with certain strains of bacteria. The most common bacteria involved are streptococci, anaerobic Gram-positive cocci, and anaerobic Gram-negative rods.Porphyromonas gingivalis and Fusobacterium nucleatum frequently colonize the implant in early and late losses and could therefore be characteristic for implant loss in general.

Thus, the antibiotic to prevent delayed healing of wound should be bactericidal and of low toxicity. Systemic antibiotic prophylaxis has been used to reduce the risk of early implant failure and local infections around dental implants.Antibiotics are one of the most cost-effective, life-saving medicines and contribute to an extended lifespan. Access to antibiotics without a prescription is a driving factor for irrational antibiotic use due to a potential lack of access to proper diagnosis and diagnostic tools. This eventually leads to the development and spread of antibiotic resistance &it is one of the increasing public health challenges worldwide.
