Surgical removal of impacted mandibular third molar (SRIMTM) is the most common procedure performed in oral and maxillofacial surgery. In the literature, many complications associated with lower third molar removal are described such as pain, swelling, trismus, infection, inflammation, and nerve damage. Antibiotics are routinely used either pre-operatively or post-operatively to reduce the chances of surgical site infection (SSI). However routine use of antibiotics for SRIMTM is still controversial. For antibiotics to be effective in reducing post-operative infective complications, the time of administration is very important. Adequate serum concentration of antibiotic must be achieved prior to the procedure. In a developing country like India, antibiotics are routinely prescribed post-operatively. The current study is designed to evaluate the efficacy of post-operative prophylactic antibiotic in SRIMTM.
下颌阻生第三磨牙拔除术（SRIMTM）是口腔颌面外科最常见的手术。文献中描述了许多与下颌第三磨牙拔除相关的并发症，如疼痛、肿胀、牙关紧闭、感染、炎症和神经损伤。抗生素通常在术前或术后使用，以降低手术部位感染（SSI）的几率。然而，SRIMTM常规使用抗生素仍存在争议。为使抗生素有效减少术后感染并发症，给药时间非常重要。术前必须达到足够的抗生素血清浓度。在印度这样的发展中国家，抗生素通常在术后常规使用。本研究旨在评估SRIMTM术后预防性使用抗生素的疗效。
