Objectives:Many a times in clinical periodontology, the decision whether to prescribe prophylactic antibiotics or not, is perplexing.The present study was conducted to compare the bacteremias induced after periodontal flap surgeries with and without prophylactic antibiotics.Materials and Methods:The occurrence of postoperative bacteremia following periodontal flap surgery was studied in 30 patients. On these patients, 30 quadrant wise flap surgeries were carried out without any preoperative prophylactic antibiotics and 30 surgeries carried out after prophylactic administration of amoxycillin preoperatively. A blood sample was taken from each patient at the time of maximum surgical trauma and was cultured for micro-organisms and antibiotic sensitivity.Results:18 out of 60 blood samples were positive for micro-organisms. There was a significant reduction in post operative bacteremia after amoxycillin prophylaxis (x2 - 7.96 with P<0.01) as post operative bacteremia was found in 14 of the non medicated patients as compared to only 4 of the pre medicated patients. The micro-organisms encountered in the study are as follows:- 1) Staphylococcus albus coagulase negative, 2) Klebsiella, 3) Psedomonas aerugenosa, 4) Streptococcus viridans, 5) Alpha hemolytic streptococcus, 6) Neisseria catarrhalisConclusion:On the basis of the study, it is concluded that the incidence of postoperative bacteremia following periodontal flap surgery is not as high as previously reported. The clinical results show that Amoxicillin is highly effective in reducing postoperative bacteremia in periodontal flap surgery and thus in preventing the possible sequelae (Infective Endocarditis and other systemic maladies) in susceptible patients. However, cefotaxime and cephalexin may prove to be more effective in preventing the same.

“…The antibiotic sensitivity tests done by Vargas,et al,7 showed that all organisms isolated from bacteremias of periodontal origin were highly sensitive to penicillin, Chloromycetin, erythromycin and novobiocin. Any one of these drugs may be used depending upon the operator's preference and whether or not the patient has a specific sensitivity to an antibiotic.…”

“…Haberman, et al, 6 and Vargas,et al,7 in 1959, detected bacteremias in 28 of 114 (24.5%) samplings following gingival resection and 5 of 5 5 (9.1%) after routine prophylaxis. The types of bacteria isolated by these investigators compares favorably with those isolated by others.…”

“…The actual invasion of the tissues of the periodontium by bacteria is a debatable subject, 6-9 but the presence of chemical substances such as indole, skatole, 10 dase, urease, all of which are capable of harming the gingival tissues, have been found in the oral cavity, and the oral flora has been found capable of producing these substances. [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] Schultz-Haudt recently demonstrated the acid mucopolysaccarhides glucosamine, galatosamine and hexuronic acid in excised gingival tissue and subjected them to the action of both mixed cultures of bacteria and Streptococcus salivarius and Streptococcus mitis-isolated from the mouth, and found that the mucopolysaccarhides were hydrolysed.…”

a) The control patients which received no presurgical treatments.(b) Those patients that were given a dental prophylaxis 5-7 days prior to gingivectomy.(c) Those patients that received 2 50 mgms. Mysteclinf every 6 hours starting 24 hours before surgery and continuing 24 hours after gingivectomy. An extra 2 50 mgms. capsule of Mysteclin was given just before the surgery was started.(d) Those patients that were treated with a dental prophylaxis 5-7 days before surgery and then oral antibiotics were given before and after surgery. This latter group combines the presurgical treatments of groups b and c.
