This analysis characterizes antibiotic prescribing changes by dentists after the American Dental Association's dental infection treatment guideline was released in 2019.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>The Xponent (IQVIA) database was used to extract antibiotic prescriptions dispensed from 2018 through 2022.
