SubjectPeriodontology
DescriptionOver many years the inappropriate and widespread use of antibiotics has resulted in development of bacterial resistance, which may ultimately result in certain infections being untreatable by antibiotics. It is therefore essential that the use of antibiotics is restricted to situations that they can be justified. In this lecture I will discuss how antibiotics should be used for managing periodontal disease.
