Background: Patients with odontogenic infections are commonly prescribed antimicrobials on an experiential base without knowing the precise microorganisms implicated. The aim of this systematic scoping review is to evaluate the prevalence and proportions of antimicrobial-resistant species in patients with odontogenic infections.
Material And Methods: A systematic scoping review of scientific evidence was accomplished involving different databases.
Objectives: To evaluate the prevalence and proportions of bacteria resistant to antiseptics used in dentistry.
Methods: A review of randomized clinical trials (RCTs) was conducted using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses extension for scoping reviews involving different databases. MeSH terms and keywords were provided to examine only RCTs with antiseptic-resistant results.
Aims: To evaluate the prevalence and proportions of bacteria resistant to oral antiseptics used in hospitalized patients.
Methods And Results: A review of randomized clinical trials (RCTs) was led by implementing the PRISMA extension for scoping reviews including various databases. MeSH terms and keywords were used to assess only RCTs with antiseptic-resistant outcomes.
Article Synopsis
- * Enterococcus faecalis showed significant resistance to several antibiotics, with 100% resistance to clindamycin and varying resistance levels to others, while other bacteria like Prevotella and Fusobacterium species had different resistance patterns, particularly to penicillin and erythromycin.
- * Overall, the study highlighted alarming levels of resistance to commonly used antimicrobials for treating oral infections, pointing to a growing concern for effective treatment options in endodontic care.
Objectives: The objective of the study was to evaluate the prevalence and proportions of antibiotic-resistant species in periodontitis patients.
Methods: A systematic scoping review of randomized clinical trials (RCTs) was conducted using the PRISMA extension for scoping reviews involving different databases. MeSH terms and keywords were provided to examine only RCTs with antibiotic-resistant results that included at least 3 months of follow-up of systematically healthy patients diagnosed with periodontitis and treated with systemic or local antibiotics adjunctive to subgingival debridement.
Objectives: To assess the clinical and microbiological efficacy of systemic quinolones adjunctive to mechanical therapy in periodontitis patients. systematic review of the scientific literature was carried out. The search scheme comprised the Scopus, PubMed/MEDLINE, SCIELO (Scientific Electronic Library Online), and LILACS (Literatura Latinoamericana del Caribe en Ciencias de la Salud) databases, together with the gray literature.

This trial evaluates the clinical parameters related with the patient, tooth, and site that generate more changes in clinical attachment level (CAL) gain and probing depth (PD) reduction, using moxifloxacin (MOX) versus amoxicillin plus metronidazole (AMOX + ME) as adjuncts to scaling and root planing (SRP), in comparison to SRP only, post-therapy in generalized aggressive periodontitis (GAgP).
Materials And Methods: The analysis of this clinical trial included 6012 tooth sites at 1002 teeth in 36 patients; they were randomly assigned to three protocols: Systemically intake of MOX or AMOX + ME plus SRP, or SRP + placebo for 7 days.
Objectives: Administration of systemic antimicrobials as an adjunct to mechanical treatment of periodontitis and sites with adverse clinical results leads to improved outcomes. This study aimed to assess the antimicrobial susceptibility of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, Porphyromonas gingivalis and Tannerella forsythia isolated from periodontitis patients to amoxicillin, metronidazole, azithromycin and moxifloxacin.
Methods: A total of 76 patients diagnosed with generalised periodontitis were included in the study.
