(1) Background: Antibiotics are used in every medical field including dentistry, where they are used for the prevention of postoperative complications in routine clinical practice during the third molar extraction. (2) Methods: This study is reported in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). The present systematic review aimed to evaluate and systematize the use of antibacterial drugs in order to prevent postoperative complications in outpatient oral surgery for wisdom teeth extraction. We conducted a systematic review using electronic databases such as Medline PubMed, Scopus, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials. Considering inclusion and exclusion criteria, we included randomized clinical trials published up to 2021 investigating the antibiotic prescription for third molar extraction. (3) Results: We selected 10 studies after the application of inclusion and exclusion criteria. The results showed that the most widely used antibiotic was amoxicillin both with and without clavulanic acid, in different dosages and duration. There were no statistically significant differences between treatment groups for development of postoperative complications. (4) Conclusions: Based on the analysis of the included studies, penicillin is currently the most widely prescribed group of antibiotics. The widespread use of this antibiotic group can lead to antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Due to increasing prevalence of bacteria resistance to penicillins, clinicians should carefully prescribe these antibiotics and be aware that the widespread use of amoxicillin may do more harm than good for the population.

Mandibular reconstruction after partial or complete resection is a prerequisite for restoring normal facial aesthetics, articulation and chewing function. We present a clinical case of lower jaw reconstruction in a female patient with acquired extensive bone defect while taking pervitin and desomorphine. Detailed descriptions of the stages of planning and performing surgery, manufacture of an individual endoprosthesis, as well as preoperative preparation of the patient are presented. Clinical and radiological data in the postoperative period were analyzed and an objective assessment of the effectiveness of the technique was given. Adequate restoration of the main functions of the lost organ was achieved thanks to the use of an individual titanium mandibular endoprosthesis with integrated dental implants and a full-arch denture.

AIM: The research has been aimed at optimization of approaches to diagnosis, prevention, and treatment strategies to the hereditary dental diseases based on the analysis of modern relevant information. METHODS: Using the methods of content analysis and cluster analysis, the information included in periodicals, as well as educational and non-regulatory publications for the period of 2011–2019, was systematized and structured; the analysis of sources devoted to modern approaches to the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of hereditary dental diseases, their genetic etiology, with the description of clinical cases and illustrations for each example, was conducted; hereditary dental diseases were classified; based on a comparative analysis, approaches to the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of these diseases were optimized. RESULTS: The most significant hereditary dental diseases have been identified, the classification of approaches to their diagnosis and treatment has been presented, the scheme of drug therapy has been optimized depending on the pathology. CONCLUSION: The systematic analysis of information on hereditary dental diseases with the description of clinical cases for each nosology has been carried out for the 1st time, and the approaches to their diagnosis and treatment have been optimized with due consideration of domestic and foreign experience.
