Abstract;To evaluate the effectiveness of prophylaxis of infection after tooth extraction, antibiotic concentrations in exodontia wounds were determined after talampicillin (TAPC, 500 mg), cefaclor (CCL, 500 mg), and cefteram pivoxil (CFTM-PI, 200 mg) were given orally. The percentage of patients whose concentrations were higher than the MIC80 value against Streptococcus sp., which are frequently detected in oral infections, was 83.3-100% for TAPC at 60-360 min, 33.3-64.3% for CCL at 60-180 min, and 80.0-100% for CFTM-PI at 60-480 min. These findings indicate that TAPC or CFTM-PI is more reliable for prophylaxis. For effective prophylaxis, TAPC should be given about 60 min preoperatively and CFTM-PI about 60-120 min preoperatively.
