Abstract
Dental extractions and minor surgical procedures for causes other than infection are quite common in any dental practice. All these procedures involve breach in soft tissue and probably hard tissue integrity thereby providing microorganisms to harbor and spread through blood stream. Transient bacteremia is inevitable with surgical procedure of any kind and may lead to septicemia, bacterial endocarditis, toxic shock syndrome, etc. all being life threatening but rare conditions. Prophylactic and post operative antibiotic therapy has been used extensively to prevent surgical site infection and other systemic complications but at the expense of added financial burden, adverse drug effects and drug resistance. The rational to use systemic antibiotics in clean procedures to prevent few rare complications and in availability of broad spectrum local antimicrobial agents should be justified.
