COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Antibiotics have revolutionized healthcare, transforming
once-deadly infections into treatable conditions. Yet, their
overuse and misuse have led to alarming consequences, including
antibiotic resistance, untreatable superbug infections, and a rise
in antibiotic-associated Clostridium difficile infections. This
live continuing education webinar is your opportunity to stay at
the forefront of evidence-based care and antibiotic stewardship in
dentistry.
Join us to explore the latest ADA Clinical Practice Guidelines
on antibiotic use for odontogenic infections and gain clarity on
when antibiotics are appropriate and when they’re not. Learn how to
confidently manage complex scenarios such as antibiotic prophylaxis
for patients with prosthetic joints, cardiac conditions, bone
marrow transplants, and other medical concerns. This course will
provide you with practical insights, including prescribing
recommendations, sample prescriptions, and best practices for
antibiotic use in procedures such as extractions, minor oral
surgery, implant placement, and periodontal therapy.
Learning Objectives:

comprehensive understanding of the current Clinical Practice
Guidelines for antibiotic prophylaxis and their application to

and benefits of antibiotic use, including the threats of antibiotic
resistance and the dangers of C. difficile infections.

of oral bacteremia in distant site infections and how antibiotic

for your patients.
- Best Practices for Procedures: Review the best
practices for antibiotic use in dental extractions, implant
placement, periodontal root planing, and other procedures to ensure
optimal care.

effective, and evidence-based care while minimizing the risks
associated with antibiotic misuse. Join us and ensure your practice
