The effectiveness of systemic antibiotic prophylaxis in preventing local complications after tooth extraction. A systematic review.

CONCLUSIONS: There is no RCT to determine if the antibiotic therapy is needed at extraction of teeth, excluding third molars. Properly designed and conducted RCTs are needed to understand the role of the antibiotic therapy for tooth extraction. Conflict-of-interest statement: This systematic review was self-funded and the authors have no conflict of interests to declare. PMID: 28555203 [PubMed - in process]
