Presentation Transcript

  1. Trends of usage of antimicrobial agents in dental practice on the basis of prescription analysis

  2. Oral cavity organisms • more than 400 species • Aerobic as well as anaerobic • Anerobic 10 – 100 times more • Spirochetes, Candida, viral

  3. To deal with - • Dental Caries • Dentoalveolar abscess, pulp infection, periapical abscess • Gingivitis • Periodontitis – pericoronitis, periodontal abscess, osteomyelitis, peri-implantitis • Deep fascial infection

  4. Indications for Chemotherapeutic Agents • Orodental Infections • To prevent other infections – bacterial endocarditis • To prevent postoperative infection • Improve healing

  5. Aims of study • To get general idea of prescribing trends • Comparing the trends in institutional practice and private practice • To analyze the prescriptions in order to determine - • The rationale - indications, adequacy of dosage, and duration of treatment • The adequacy for prophylaxis • The attention given to - contraindications and precautions

  6. Period of study: 01/01/05–06/30/05: 6 months Material: OPD antimicrobial Prescriptions • Data collected from – • TEACHING INSTITUTES: 03 • PRIVATE CLINICS: 30 ¤ SPECIALISTS: 10 ¤ GDP: 20 (General Dental Practitioners)

  7. TEACHING INSTITUTES

  8. PRIVATE CLINICS

  9. TRENDS – Institutes Vs Private

  10. Trends

  11. Other remarkable observations • CIPRO IN CHILDREN • Ciprofloxacin ( up to 5 years): 1.3% • Ciprofloxacin ( 5-10 years): 2.7% • Ciprofloxacin ( > 10 years): 3% • Inadequate frequency of admn • Amoxicillin: 250 mg bid: 16.7% • Ampicillin: 250 mg bid: 15%

  12. Timing of treatment/prophylaxis • Inadequate duration: 19.4% Ciprofloxacin single dose, Amoxicillin 2 days, Ampicillin 2 days • Antibiotic started after the procedure: 61.3%

  13. ORO DENTAL INFECTIONS • Periapical/Periodontal Abscess • Acute Suppurative pulpitis/Toxic cellulitis. • Salivary Gland Sepsis/Sinusitis • Post Surgical/Post Traumatic. • Oro-antral/Oro-nasal Fistula. • Ludwig’s angina/Purulent osteitis • Pericoronitis/Mucositis/Pemphigus

  14. SPECTRUM

  15. Prophylaxis (Prevention) • Bacterial Endocarditis. • Prosthetic Joint Infections. • Immuno-Compromised Hosts. • Procedures and others.

  16. SBE PROPHYLAXIS RECOMMENDED • Extractions, Periodontal procedures • Prophylactic cleaning • Implant placement, Re-implantation • Endodontic Instrumentation/Surgery beyond root apex, Placement or removal of orthodontic bands • Intraligamentary LA

  17. SBE PROPHYLAXIS - 1 (1 hr before procedure) • STANDARD REGIMEN Amoxicillin 2 g • PENICILLIN ALLERGY Clindamycin 600 mg Cephalexin/Cefadroxil 2 gm Clarithromycin/Azithromycin 500 mg

  18. SBE PROPHYLAXIS - 2 30 mins before procedure) • Failure to take P/O Ampicillin 2 gm IM/IV • Penicillin allergy & Failure to take P/O Clindamycin 600 mg IV Cefazolin 1 gm IM/IV

  19. PREFER • CIDAL AGENT, SUSCEPTIBILITY • NARROWEST SPECTRUM • CORRECT DOSING AND ADEQUATE DURATION OF TREATMENT

  20. Inferences • Most commonly prescribed antimicrobials were quinolones in combination with metronidazole and tinidazole (51% ). • Amongst the quinolones, ciprofloxacin and ofloxacin were the quinolones chosen by 95% of the prescribers. • Quinolones – ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin were prescribed alone by 10% prescribers.

  21. 4. Inadequacy of the frequency of administration was found in 15-17% prescriptions. • 5. Inadequate duration of treatment was observed in 19.4% prescriptions. • 6. First generation quinolones were prescribed to the children in the range of 1-3% of the prescriptions given for quinolones. • 7. The antimicrobial agent was started AFTER THE PROCEDURE in about 61% cases.
