Mix Antibiotic with Bone Graft to Decrease Post-Operative Infection?
Last Updated: Aug 24, 2009
Dr. S. asks:
I am seeking to prevent complications with sinus lift and bone graft. I was wondering if I would decrease my chance for post-operative infection if I mix an antibiotic with the bone graft material? Which antibiotic should I use, how much and how should I mix this into the bone graft? Should I give a systemic antibiotic to the patient as well? I usually use amoxicillin. Should I use a different systemic antibiotic when I do surgery on the maxillary sinus? What do you recommend?
