“…Segura-Egea, J.J. (2022; 2017) [7,46] emphasized the effects of antibiotic prophylaxis on patients with compromised immunity and specific conditions like infective endocarditis or prosthetic joint replacements. The author also highlighted the overprescription of antibiotics in endodontic infections and the need for improved prescription habits and education.…”

This scoping review systematically evaluates the use of systemic antibiotics in treating acute irreversible pulpitis, integrating clinical practice patterns with recent molecular insights. We analyzed clinical evidence on antibiotic prescription trends among dental professionals and examined molecular research advancements in relation to pulpitis. This review is intended to bridge the gap between clinical practice and molecular research, guiding more evidence-based approaches to treating acute irreversible pulpitis. Electronic databases were searched for relevant articles published in English based on the objective of the review. A second search using all identified keywords and index terms was undertaken across all the included databases. In addition, a reference list of identified articles was searched. Studies including original research, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, clinical trials, and observational and retrospective studies, all written in English and published from 2010 onwards, were included, and an analysis of the text words contained in the titles and abstracts of the retrieved papers and of the index terms used to describe the articles was performed. A total of N = 53 articles were selected. Altogether, N = 43 (76.79%) articles were cross-sectional studies, N = 4 (11.11%) were systematic reviews, and N = 3 (5.36%) were guidelines. The most frequent level of evidence was level VI (N = 43 (76.79%). The mean percentage of dentists who prescribed antibiotics to treat acute irreversible pulpitis was 23.89 ± 23.74% (range: 0.05–75.7). Similarly, for specialists, it was 22.41 ± 15.64 (range 2.2–50.4), and the percentage for undergraduates was 17.52 ± 20.59 (range 0–62.6). The significant developments in research models for pulpitis research and the characterisation of biomarkers have led to better management strategies. Concurrently, significant advancements in molecular research provide new understandings of pulpitis, suggesting alternative therapeutic approaches. Although there are guidelines available, increased rates of antibiotic prescription are still prevalent around the globe.

“…Segura-Egea, J.J. (2018) [46] published a position statement on the use of antibiotics in endodontics. Segura-Egea, J.J. (2010) [7] noted that while many members of the SECIB selected appropriate antibiotics, some still prescribed them inappropriately in the management of endodontic infections.…”
