Use of antibiotic prophylaxis in conjunction with dental implant surgery in Sweden- A cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC oral health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundAntibiotic prophylaxis in dental implant surgery remains a contentious topic, with varying guidelines and clinical practices worldwide.
aimReport how Swedish dentists use antibiotic prophylaxis during dental implant surgery, based in a review of patient records.
methodThis retrospective, cross-sectional study evaluated the antibiotic prophylaxis habits of Swedish dentists, focusing on the relationship between surgical complexity and antibiotic use.
resultsData from 450 patient records with registered implant surgeries at two major dental care providers, one public and one private, were analysed. Thirty-seven clinics provided the data, and 109 dentists performed the surgeries. Findings revealed that 72.2% of implant surgeries were straightforward procedures, with no administration of antibiotic prophylaxis in 70.5% of these. Conversely, 90% of bone augmentation cases involved antibiotic use, particularly in complex protocols utilizing synthetic materials and membranes. Overall, 54.4% of patients in the study population received no antibiotic prophylaxis at all. Surgical complexity was a significant predictor for antibiotic administration, while patient-specific factors, such as age, chronic diseases, and tobacco use, had limited influence.
conclusionRestrained antibiotic use in implant surgery in Sweden reflects alignment with current stewardship goals, particularly in straight forward procedures. However, continued administration in some uncomplicated cases and frequent use in complex surgeries highlight the need for clearer, evidence-based guidelines and standardized antibiotic protocols.
