Abstract

Odontogenic infections are commonly managed by oral and maxillofacial surgeons and generally require antimicrobial therapy with surgical management. Penicillins are a potent antibiotic in managing these infections, but 10% of the population has a penicillin allergic label (PAL). This label has limited their use and resulted in increased utilization of health care resources, antibiotic resistance, and complications associated with inappropriate use of antibiotics. Additionally, severe odontogenic infection patients are ascribed to many tests during the perioperative period.
