The effect of interventions aiming to optimise the prescription of antibiotics in dental care-A systematic review.

This systematic review was able to offer conclusions which took the limitations of the investigated studies into account.

High-quality research with objective and standardised outcome reporting, longer periods of follow-up, rigorous methodology and adequate standard of study reporting is urgently needed.
