Abstract
The objective of this study is to interpret the use of antibiotics in dentistry using the PRISMA 2020 methodology. An integrative bibliographic review was conducted using PubMed, covering publications from 2019 to 2024. The search focused on identifying practices and patterns of antibiotic prescription in dentistry. Ten relevant studies were included, evidencing the prevalence of inappropriate antibiotic prescriptions and the impact of bacterial resistance. Findings highlight that antibiotic prophylaxis in dental procedures is often unjustified, contributing to antimicrobial resistance development. Additionally, a shift towards more rational prescribing guidelines was observed in some contexts. Recommendations include improving the education and continuous training of dental health professionals and establishing stricter policies for the regulation of antibiotic prescriptions and sales
