Abstract

Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the antibiotic-prescribing attitudes of dental students during the management of endodontic infections.

Materials and methods: This study was conducted in the five faculties of dental medicine in Morocco. A self-administered questionnaire was used and completed online. This questionnaire has three parts: the first includes the socio-demographic data, the second is related to the types of antibiotics prescribed, and the final addresses clinical scenarios in which antibiotics are prescribed. Data were analyzed with Jamovi, and X₂ and ANOVA tests were performed.

Results: Three hundred and sixty-five students participated in this study. The average duration of antibiotic therapy was 5.87 ± 1.45. Of all the students, 83.8% prescribe amoxicillin first. For patients with penicillin allergy, clindamycin was the most prescribed, amounting to 53.9%. Antibiotics are prescribed for all pulp and periapical pathologies. For acute pulpitis and acute apical periodontitis, a statistically significant difference between the different faculties was noted (p = 0.03). Regarding apical abscesses, antibiotic prescription was more frequent at the public faculty of Casablanca, corresponding to 92.8%. (p = 0.02).

Conclusion: It appears from this study that there is a need for faculties to develop innovative teaching models to improve students' level of knowledge on antibiotics and their indications in endodontics.

牙科学生对牙髓治疗期间抗生素处方的态度。

目的：本研究旨在评估牙科学生在牙髓感染治疗过程中的抗生素处方态度：本研究在摩洛哥的五所牙科医学院进行。采用自填式问卷，在线填写。该问卷由三部分组成：第一部分包括社会人口学数据，第二部分与处方抗生素的类型有关，最后一部分涉及处方抗生素的临床场景。数据用 Jamovi 进行了分析，并进行了 X2 和方差分析检验：共有 365 名学生参加了此次研究。抗生素治疗的平均持续时间为 5.87 ± 1.45。在所有学生中，83.8%的学生首先处方阿莫西林。对于青霉素过敏的患者，处方最多的是克林霉素，占 53.9%。所有牙髓和根尖周病变均可处方抗生素。对于急性牙髓炎和急性根尖牙周炎，不同院系之间存在显著的统计学差异（p = 0.03）。在根尖脓肿方面，卡萨布兰卡公立学院的抗生素处方使用率更高，达到 92.8%（P = 0.02）。(p = 0.02）：从本研究中可以看出，各学院有必要开发创新的教学模式，以提高学生对抗生素及其在牙髓病学中的适应症的认识水平。
