Abstract

Prophylactic antibiotics are being used before dental treatment especially to prevent IE (infective endocarditis) has been reduced which contributes to decreased unnecessary use of antibiotics and over development of antibiotic resistant bacteria since 20 years. Medically compromised patients with history of prior prosthetic joint complications, both advanced/congenital cardiac problems or immunologically compromised with chronic disease like uncontrolled diabetes, antibiotic prophylaxis is still recommended.
