| Abstract: | Any invasive procedure is having the risk of bacteraemia. In some it is transient but in a percentage of cases it may lead to septicaemia. Guidelines for antibiotics prior to dental procedures for patients with specific cardiac conditions and prosthetic joints have changed, reducing indications for antibiotic prophylaxis. In addition to guidelines focused on patient comorbidities, systematic reviews specific to dental extractions and implants, support preprocedure antibiotics for all patients. However, data on dentist adherence to these recommendations are scarce. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the knowledge and awareness on antibiotic prophylaxis for tooth extraction among undergraduate dental students, post graduate dental students and dentists. The study group consisted of undergraduate dental students,postgraduate dental students and dentists. Total number of participants included in the study was 150. The statistical analysis was done using SPSS software (SPSS version 21.0, SPSS, Chicago II, USA). The data was analysed using a chi- square test. The p value of less than 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. About 76% of dentists and 44% of post graduates are aware about dental conditions that require antibiotic prophylaxis. There was a significant difference between the study group and antibiotic prophylaxis.(chi-square, p value: 0.00 ( p<0.05 statistically significant). Dentists and post graduates in this study have a good level of knowledge and positive attitude whereas undergraduate students lack knowledge regarding antibiotic prophylaxis for tooth extraction. Hence more awareness programs and refreshing courses regarding antibiotic prophylaxis for tooth extraction are necessary to update the knowledge among undergraduate dental students. A better knowledge of antibiotic prophylaxis is essential for safe practice in dentistry. This will ensure the provision of better and safer dental health care services for the population. |
