Este artículo revisa la evidencia científica sobre el uso de antibióticos en cirugía periodontal y para la colocación de implantes, abordando su eficacia preventiva frente a riesgos como la resistencia bacteriana y la sensibilización. Se analiza la controversia existente en cuanto a indicaciones, dosis, duración y momento de administración. Las conclusiones sugieren que la terapia antibiótica profiláctica no está justificada en cirugías periodontales convencionales, plásticas o regenerativas. En implantología, aunque puede ser útil para prevenir fallos tempranos en colocaciones sencillas, no se recomienda su uso postoperatorio. Tampoco se ha demostrado su beneficio significativo en regeneración ósea guiada simultánea. La evidencia actual es insuficiente para establecer pautas claras en procedimientos de aumento de cresta o de seno maxilar.
Antibiotics are commonly prescribed in periodontal and implant surgeries, either before, during or after surgery, to prevent postoperative infection and reduce early implant failure. However, the potential benefits may be undermined by the risks of resistance and sensitization, thus requiring a strict indication for prescription. There are controversial views regarding the indication, dosage, duration, and timing of antibiotic medication in periodontal and implant surgery. Therefore, the aim of this review is to address the benefits and concerns regarding the efficacy of using preventive antibiotic therapy in Periodontology and Implant Dentistry. Specifically, various types of procedures were comprehensively explored, and recommendations were given accordingly. The available evidence indicates that preventive antibiotic therapy is not warranted for periodontal surgeries, including conventional, plastic, and regenerative procedures. While antibiotic prophylaxis has shown effectiveness in preventing early implant failures in straightforward implant placements, postoperative coverage does not appear to be justified. Furthermore, antibiotic administration has not proven to significantly reduce early implant failure rates in implant placements involving simultaneous guided bone regeneration. There remains insufficient evidence to support or oppose the use of preventive antibiotic therapy for reducing infection rates after ridge or sinus augmentation procedures, nor is there evidence favoring any specific protocol over others.
