🌐Spotlight on IAPD Consensus Recommendations
This month, we highlight a very important IAPD Consensus Recommendation: Use of Antibiotic Therapy in Paediatric Dentistry. In tandem with global health initiatives promoting smart antibiotic use, our scientific document delves into Paediatric Dentistry’s crucial role.
Emphasising evidence-based practices, the recommendations advocate for a conservative approach, limiting antibiotics to cases of systemic infection, facial swelling, or specific prophylactic needs.
Champion smart antibiotic use, making informed decisions for the well-being of our young patients. Access the Full Document to stay aligned with global health goals.
This is a free resource developed by the IAPD Science Committee, available in English, French, Spanish and Italian!
