Survey of antibiotic prophylaxis for intraoral orthognathic surgery

Administration of Single-Dose Antibiotic Does Not Decrease Oronasal Fistula Rates After Primary Palatoplasty

“…In fact, guidelines for antibiotic use in specific oral procedures like tooth extractions have been modified to decrease this practice without a specific indication for antibiotic administration (American Dental Association, 2017;Singh Gill et al, 2018). The results of our study are consistent with those of Jodeh et al, (2019a), Heit et al, (1991), Baqain et al (2004), who also found no significant effect of antibiotics on infection after oropharyngeal procedures.…”

“…The efficacy of antibiotic prophylaxis and impact of treatment duration in other intraoral and orthodontic procedures have also been inconsistent (Heit et al, 1991;Zijderveld et al, 1999;Bentley et al, 1999;Lindeboon & van den Akker, 2003;Baqain et al, 2004;Salmerón-Escobar & Amo-Fernández de Velasco, 2006;Cohel et al, 2016;American Dental Association, 2017). A pilot study on the use of prophylactic penicillin for intraoral bone grafting procedures supported antibiotic use (American Dental Association, 2017).…”

“…A pilot study on the use of prophylactic penicillin for intraoral bone grafting procedures supported antibiotic use (American Dental Association, 2017). Other studies have failed to establish any significant impact on infection rates after orthodontic procedures (Heit et al, 1991;Zijderveld et al, 1999;Bentley et al, 1999;Baqain et al, 2004). Cohen et al (2016) previously reported that prolonged courses of perioperative antibiotics have no additional benefits in reducing risk of infections during oropharyngeal reconstructive procedures.…”

A prospective study on infectious complications in orthognathic surgery

“…For transcutaneous procedures a first generation cephalosporin such as cefazolin (the antibiotic used in this study) is the drug of first choice as it is effective against most Staphylococci. Heit et al, in 1991 showed that penicillin was given in 64% of centres, and cephalosporin by 20%.…”

Titanium Internal Fixator Removal in Maxillofacial Surgery: Is It Necessary? A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

“…On the contrary, Theodossy et al 35 do not deem the direction of mandibular movements as risk factor. Alpha et al [48][49][50][51] show that fewer disturbance of healing occur when the fixation plates are closer to the inferior border of the mandible. 48 Better vascularization and protection from the intraoral microbiological environment due to longer distance from the mucosal incision might be determining factors for the lower border plates success.…”
