Summary
There was no evidence to judge the effects of preventative antibiotics for extractions of
severely decayed teeth, teeth in diseased gums, or extractions in patients who are sick or
have low immunity to infection. Undertaking research in these groups of people may not be
possible or ethical. However, it is likely that in situations where patients are at a higher
risk of infection that preventative antibiotics may be beneficial, because infections in this
group are likely to be more frequent and more difficult to treat To the best of knowledge, no
adult study has compared the effects of single dose of Co-Amoxiclave and full oral course
before or after dentoalveolar surgery. The current study has formally considered this
comparison as a potential valuable trail for reducing the postoperative complications in
adult patients who have had surgical removal of teeth under LA.
