[Efficiency of systemic prophylatic antibiotics in the surgical removal of lower widsom teeth]
Abstract
The efficiency of prophylactically given systemic antibiotics was examined in a double-blind study on 142 patients on an ambulatory basis. It was found that the application of antibiotics do not significantly lower the rate of postoperative infections after the surgical removal of lower third molars.
