dental implantation, antimicrobial resistance, oral microorganisms, prevention of complications of dental implantationAbstract
Introduction. The microbial resistance to antibiotics is currently one of the biggest problems in medicine and dentistry in particular, as it accounts for up to 15% of all antimicrobial prescriptions, including the prophylactic use of antibiotics during dental implantation. Published studies indicate significant differences not only in the microbiota of the human oral cavity, but also in the resistance of microorganisms in this locus to antibiotics in different regions of the world and in Ukraine in particular. The goal is to analyze the current situation regarding antibiotic resistance prescribed at the stages of dental implantation from a geographical point of view, focusing on the state of this problem in Ukraine. Materials and Methods. A systematic literature review was conducted over the past decade using PUBMED, Scopus, CINAHL, and MEDLINE databases. Identified articles were screened for duplicates and relevance; additional records from the reference lists supplemented the sample. Key findings from relevant reports were compiled and synthesized to elucidate antimicrobial resistance in dental implantology across geographic regions. Results. A systematic review of PubMed and Scopus databases (retroactive to July 2022) formed the basis for a focused synthesis of information on antibiotic resistance and dental implant procedures. Antibiotic resistance is a phenomenon that is constantly growing and may continue to pose a pressing public health problem worldwide. In this perspective, the geographical aspect may be quite important, as antimicrobial resistance patterns vary depending on environmental and local factors. Conclusions. Despite the fact that antibiotic prophylaxis remains a common practice in national guidelines for dental implantation worldwide, it is nevertheless worth avoiding empirical antimicrobial drug prescribing schemes at the stages of dental implantation, as the variability of microbial susceptibility indicates the predicted ineffectiveness of this approach.
