Cefradine (Dental Care) Ancef

Brand: Ancef (Bangladesh) 
Generic: Cefradine
Positioning statement: Recommended antibiotic to prevent dental infections  
Target Customer: Dental Surgeons




The primary treatment of endodontic infections is to establish and maintain surgical drainage and to remove
the cause of the infection. In practice, drainage may not always be possible, as a consequence there are two possible indications for therapeutic antimicrobials.

Cefradine: Adjunct to operative treatment
In healthy patients, most endodontic infections can be treated solely by the early establishment of drainage and removal of the cause of the problem, for example, debridement of the infected root canal system or surgical removal of extraradicular infection. In some patients with acute dentoalveolar infection, antibiotics may be indicated because there is a diffuse spreading infection or evidence of systemic involvement. This may be accompanied by a feeling of malaise and an elevated body temperature. Antibiotics are not an alternative to dental intervention; they are an adjunct to it .
