Background: Dentists bear the burden of responsibility for antimicrobial resistance since antibiotics are drugs most prescribed by dentists. Often, “inappropriate” antibiotic use is considered as a “gray area” dentists mainly due to ethical challenges associated with clinical judgement depending on patients and/or prescribers. Aim: The study aimed assess whether and in what way dental principles underpin rational investigating perceptions postgraduate undergraduate students without formal knowledge ethics. Method: A cross-sectional anonymous survey comprised nine close-ended questions was conducted among (n = 125). investigated practice appropriate prescribing relied respect three basic ethics: autonomy, non-maleficence, beneficence. Results: Results show that exhibit lack ethics results an inappropriate antibiotic-prescribing practice: when it not necessary, examination, or indications within competence dentist. Multivariate regression analysis revealed there significant difference between under- postgraduates. Conclusions: Within pharmacology course, review scenarios which cover both complexities regarding should be introduced educational approach.

Autologous blood centrifugation produces various forms of platelet concentrates widely used in tissue regenerative therapies due to their high concentrations growth factors and abundance autologous cells. Advanced Platelet-Rich Fibrin (A-PRF), introduced as a low-speed product, contains an even higher concentration factors, greater number cells, looser fibrin clot structure compared previous Leukocyte (L-PRF). This study aims assess the potential A-PRF local delivery system for antibiotics. Different (0.5 mg/mL, 0.25 0.125 mg/mL) injectable amoxicillin (AMX) metronidazole (MTZ) were preliminarily tested impact on formation, with 0.5 mg/mL selected subsequent experiments. Blood samples from healthy volunteers supplemented antibiotics centrifuged form clots. Antibiotic-enriched clots immersed phosphate-buffered saline (1x PBS) analyzed at 24 h, 72 7 days, 14 days. AMX showed consistent release (mean: 19.9 ± 4.8 ng/mL h) over while MTZ demonstrated variability 12.8 4.5 h). remained constant 14-day period, no significant variations among patients. In contrast, displayed progressively lower time. Microbiological analysis revealed bacterial inhibition zones Fusobacterium nucleatum (AMX: 23 mm, MTZ: 28 mm) Prevotella intermedia 34 30 h.
