[The role of dalacin C in the management of odontogenic inflammations]

Abstract

The penicillin-metronidazole combination is well tried antibiotic therapy for the treatment of inflammations of dental origin. However, because of the rising number of penicillin-resistant bacterium strains and penicillin allergies, other antibiotics too are being applied ever more frequently. The literature data and the authors' own experience indicate that clindamycin (Dalacin C) may be used effectively against mixed infections of the oral cavity. A detailed account of the patients and the methods will be reported in the following article.
