Outline

Text

Background

The aim of this systematic review is to compare the implant failure rates of patients with and without preoperative antibiosis before dental implantation.

Methods

The systematic literature research was carried out with the electronic databases Pubmed, Medpilot and Cochrane Library. Main search terms were antibiotic*, premedicat* and prophyla* combined with dental, endoss*, osseointegr* and oral implant*. In addition several dental journals were handsearched. There was no restriction of language. Only prospective, controlled studies were included, which examine the influence of preoperative antibiosis on the implant failure rate.

Results

671 titles and abstracts were identified by the literature search, out of which 43 were selected for detailed review. Among these 5 studies could be included in our review.

Conclusions

No randomized and controlled studies exist up to now. From controlled, observational studies there is evidence, that the use of preoperative antibiotics reduces the implant failure rates.

There is still need for randomized studies including a cost – benefit analysis.
