Por qué importa

Esta revisión sistemática, publicada en Medicina Oral Patología Oral y Cirugía Bucal en 2024, analiza los patrones de prescripción de antibioticoterapia profiláctica (ATP) en la colocación de implantes dentales en Europa, comparándolos con las recomendaciones actuales. Se revisaron 10 estudios publicados entre 2010 y 2023. Los resultados indican que un porcentaje significativo de profesionales europeos, aproximadamente el 60.8%, prescribe ATP de forma rutinaria, siendo la pauta perioperatoria la más frecuente. La amoxicilina es el antibiótico más común, seguida de la clindamicina para pacientes alérgicos. El estudio concluye que se prescriben más dosis de ATP de las recomendadas, subrayando la necesidad de mejorar la formación en el uso racional de antibióticos para combatir la resistencia antimicrobiana en la práctica clínica.

Abstract original

Background: The present systematic review aims to investigate the guidelines for prescribing Preventive Antibiotic Therapy (PAT) in the placement of dental implants (DIs) without anatomical constraints in healthy patients by clinicians in Europe and to compare them with current recommendations. Material and Methods: A search was performed in 4 databases: Medline (via PubMed), Web of Science, Scopus, and LILACS. The criteria employed were those described in the PRISMA declaration (PROSPERO Registration number: CRD42022382278). Results: The electronic search identified 10 studies published between 2010 and 2023 that met the established criteria. Overall, 60.8% ± 24.1% of European professionals routinely prescribe PAT, with the most frequent regimen being perioperative (means 46.7% ± 24.3%), followed by postoperative PAT only (means 20.3% ± 9.7%). Conclusions: The most commonly prescribed antibiotic both pre- and postoperatively is amoxicillin and, in allergic patients, clindamycin. In Europe, more doses of PAT are being prescribed than suggested by current recommendations. For this reason, more PAT education is needed in educational curricula to promote a more rational use of antibiotics to reduce the occurrence of antimicrobial resistance.
