Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The trial aims to evaluate the effects of prescribing antibiotics after tooth extraction. 152 dental patients aged 18 to 50 will be randomly assigned. The study will assess infection rates, healing times, pain, and adverse effects in patients who receive antibiotics versus those who do not. The trial will be conducted at the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department, Dental Unit, Chittagong Medical College. Data analysis will involve the use of the χ²-test, t-tests, and logistic regression, with a significance level of 5%. Ethical considerations include obtaining informed consent from all participants, and safety will be monitored by an independent expert team.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Antibiotics are commonly prescribed in dentistry as a prophylactic measure, particularly following tooth extraction which are overused and misused in dental practice, leading to a rise in antimicrobial resistance. By randomly assigning 152 dental patients aged between 18 to 50 years, this trial aims to evaluate the outcomes such as infection rates, healing times, pain and adverse effects of patients receiving antibiotics after tooth extraction versus those who do not. The study will be conducted at the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department, Dental Unit, Chittagong Medical College.

Tooth extractions will be performed under aseptic conditions, followed by standard post-operative care. The intervention group will receive 625 mg amoxicillin with clavulanic acid three times daily for 7 days post-extraction, while the control group will not receive any antibiotic. Both groups will receive 400 mg ibuprofen and 20 mg omeprazole twice daily. Surgeons, patients and assessors will be blinded to group assignments, with a third party managing medication distribution. Clinical evaluations will occur on the 3rd, 7th, and 14th days post-extraction. The Landry wound healing index will be used to assess tissue healing and pain will be recorded using a visual analogue scale. Surgical Site Infection will be diagnosed based on specific clinical criteria. Any Adverse reactions will be monitored. Rescue Additional analgesia and antibiotics will be provided as needed.

Data analysis will be done using the χ²-test, t-tests and logistic regression, with a significance level of 5%. Ethical considerations include obtaining informed consent from all participants. An independent expert team will conduct safety monitoring to manage any adverse events. The results of this study could provide valuable insights for future clinical protocols in dental surgery and contribute to the broader public health goal of reducing unnecessary antibiotic use.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Intervention Group-A: Administration of a specific antibiotic regimen post-extraction.

Control Group-B: Administration of no antibiotic.

For group A, patients will be prescribed 625 mg of amoxicillin with combined clavulanic acid tablets three times a day after meals for 7 days following extraction. For group B, no post-operative antibiotics will be administered. Both groups will be given a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, 400 mg ibuprofen, and an H2 receptor blocker, 20 mg omeprazole, twice daily before meals.
Primary Study Purpose

TREATMENT

Blinding Strategy

TRIPLE

Participants Investigators Outcome Assessors
The surgeon, patients and the outcome assessor will be blind for the duration of the study.

Participants: After teeth extraction, participants receive either the antibiotic or not without knowing which one they take.

Surgeon: The clinicians who prescribe and administer the medication will not know whether they are giving the antibiotic or not. This can be achieved by having a third-party individual prescribe and distribute the medications according to the randomization schedule.

Outcome Assessor: The individual assessing the outcomes (e.g., infection rates, healing times) will also be blinded to which treatment the participant received. This prevents bias in the evaluation of the treatment effects.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Intervention Group-A: Administration of a specific antibiotic regimen post-extraction.

Patients will be prescribed 625 mg of amoxicillin with combined clavulanic acid tablets three times a day after meals for 7 days following extraction and also a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, 400 mg ibuprofen, and an H2 receptor blocker, 20 mg omeprazole, twice daily before meals.
