Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The presence of more than 300 bacterial species at the oral level may contribute to the occurrence of postoperative infections. The prescription of antimicrobials is common in oral implantology and oral surgery procedures, as this not only aids in the prevention of systemic bacteremia, but also enables an adequate antibiotic concentration in the blood to be reached and prevents the occurrence of bacterial contamination during surgeries that involve implants or grafted material. Despite recent advances in this field, there remains a lack of sufficient high-quality investigations.
Therefore, this Special Issue of Antibiotics addresses these topics. We welcome the submission of original research papers, short communications, reviews, case reports, and perspectives whose scope includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:
- Protocols in dental implant procedures.
- Protocols in oral surgery procedures.
- Microbiology concerning dental implant failures and/or peri-implantitis.
- Microbiology concerning oral surgery procedures.
- Epidemiology of antibiotic-resistant species.
- New therapies in preventive antibiotic therapy and/or antibiotic prophylaxis.
- Prescription patterns of professionals dedicated to oral surgery and oral implantology.
