Abstract
Although amoxicillin is the first-line prophylactic drug for impacted mandibular third molar extraction, third-generation cephalosporins are widely prescribed in Japan. The lack of real-world evidence may be one reason for this inappropriate use. We evaluated differences in the incidence of surgical site infection between amoxicillin and third-generation cephalosporins for impacted mandibular third molar extraction.
