Addressing Antimicrobial Resistance in Dentistry Manjunath BC1, Chandrashekar BR2, Vatchala RRM3, Babaji P4, Singh I5, Arora K6, Madan C7 Journal of Oral Health REVIEW ARTICLE Community& Dentistry Addressing Antimicrobial Resistance in Dentistry Manjunath BC1, Chandrashekar BR2, Vatchala RRM3, Babaji P4, Singh I5, Arora K6, Madan C7 ABSTRACT Background: Antimicrobial agents are life saving drugs which are used in management of various life threatening infections but irrational use of antibiotics have led to resurgence of multidrug resistant bacteria which are associated with global increase in mortality due to various infections. Dentists are one among important health care personnel who prescribe antibiotics routinely to treat various oral infections. Objectives: To summarise the evidence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) encountered in dental practice, discuss factors associated with it and suggest measures to prevent antimicrobial resistance in dentistry. Methodology: Articles were identified by searching in electronic data bases such as PubMed, Medline, Embase, Google Scholar and Cochrane data bases using key words like antibiotics, antimicrobial resistance, and antibiotic resistance in dentistry. The articles fulfilling the objectives were included. Results and Conclusions: Dentists also contribute significantly to the global burden of antimicrobial resistance due to irrational use of antibiotics. Antibiotic stewardship is essential to prevent antimicrobial resistance in dental practice and hence there is an urgent need to educate not only dentists but general public as well. The article describes the gravity of the AMR and the importance of prudent use of antibiotics is discussed. Keywords: Antibiotics, Antimicrobial, Resistance, AMR, Antibiotic stewardship, NDM-1, Superbug, MRSA INTRODUCTION 1Senior Professor and Head 5Senior Lecturer Department of Public Health Dentistry Department of Public Health Dentistry he accidental discovery of a mould Post Graduate Institute of Dental Sciences, Government Dental College, Srinagar, Jammu called “Penicillium Notatum” Rohtak, Haryana, India and Kashmir, India which had the potential of inhibit- 2 6 T Associate Professor Associate Professor ing Staphylococcus colonies by Alexander Department of Public Health Dentistry Department of Periodontics and Implantology Flemming in 1928 paved the way for the People’s Dental Academy, Bhanpur, Bhopal, MP, Manav Rachana Dental College and Hospital, India Faridabad, India miracle drug “Penicillin” which saved mil- lions of lives and opened a new era of 3Senior Lecturer 7 Senior Lecturer Department of Oral Pathology and Microbiology Department of Periodontics and Implantology curative medicine (1).Penicillin is referred Faculty of Dentistry, Jamia Millia Islamia, ESI Dental College, Rohini, New Delhi, India as the mother of all antibiotics and the New Delhi, India discovery proved to be a boon to man- 4Reader kind.
