Do postoperative antibiotics influence one-year peri-implant crestal bone remodelling and morbidity? A double-blinded randomized clinical trial.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The primary objective of this study was to assess whether giving postoperative antibiotics to healthy patients after straightforward platform-switched implant placement would influence peri-implant crestal bone levels and postoperative morbidity after 1 year.

Methods

Thirty-eight healthy individuals were recruited in this pilot, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled clinical trial. The intervention group (n = 18) received two grams of amoxicillin one hour before implant placement followed by a 7 days postoperative regimen (500 mg tid). The control group (n = 20) took the same preoperative dose of amoxicillin and an identical placebo postoperatively. Mesial and distal peri-implant crestal bone levels were measured at baseline, four months and one year late
