Abstract

Although antibiotics can effectively control infectious diseases, overuse of antibiotics can cause problems such as drug resistance. Pulpitis and apical periodontitis are among the most common infectious diseases in humans. To alleviate the intense tooth pain, patients often self-administer antibiotics. To guide patients in managing pulpitis and apical periodontitis more effectively, we designed a Root Canal Treatment Health Education Form and provided personalised guidance on antibiotic use during the treatment period. From January 2024 to March 2025, a total of 272 patients participated in this project. Benefiting from health education, the proportion of antibiotic use was significantly lower compared to the control group. Both patients and healthcare professionals involved in this health education program held positive attitudes towards the intervention. Our experience suggested that health education should be actively promoted in the treatment of pulpitis and apical periodontitis.

根管治疗期间的健康教育可减少抗生素的使用。

虽然抗生素可以有效控制传染病，但过度使用抗生素会引起耐药性等问题。牙髓炎和根尖牙周炎是人类最常见的感染性疾病。为了减轻剧烈的牙痛，患者经常自行服用抗生素。为了更有效地指导患者管理牙髓炎和根尖牙周炎，我们设计了根管治疗健康教育表，并对治疗期间抗生素的使用进行了个性化指导。从2024年1月到2025年3月，共有272名患者参与了该项目。受益于健康教育，抗生素使用比例明显低于对照组。参与该健康教育计划的患者和医护人员都对干预持积极态度。我们的经验表明，在牙髓炎和根尖牙周炎的治疗中应积极提倡健康教育。
