Abstract
Objectives/hypothesis
We review the resistance of antibiotics in odontogenic infection based on the various studies conducted for this purpose.
Methods
An electronic search was conducted since March 2022 until November 2022 on MEDLINE database, ELSEVIER- ScienceDirect, Ebsco, Scopus and Google Scholar to collect sufficient articles relevant to our subject. Data were extracted and analyzed from selected studies including study type, sample size and characteristics of microbiology and resistance found in these patients.
Results
A total of 120 publications were found. After screening titles, abstracts, and duplicates studies were retained 97 for a full text reading. Then, twenty seven studies were retained for our systematic review based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria which will be described later.
Conclusion
Odontogenic infections (OIs) are common in the oral and maxillofacial regions and can affect both genders at any age. The microbiology involved is very diversified, and frequently mixed. Management includes prescription of antimicrobial medication, surgical and etiological treatment. Then, the over-use or inappropriate selection of systemic antibiotic therapy is identified as a significant factor in the development of antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains.
