Prophylactic indications were mainly for implant surgery (36.3%) with only 1% appropriate. Curative use was mainly for periodontal abscesses\/abscesses (indeterminate) (22.8%), followed by pulpal diseases and periradicular complications (20.5%); it was appropriate in only 1.7 and 1.9% of cases respectively. Amoxicillin\u2013clavulanic acid was the antibiotic that was mostly prescribed for both curative and prophylactic uses (57.6 and 55.9%, respectively), followed by amoxicillin for prophylactic purposes and a combination of spiramycin plus metronidazole for curative purposes. Adherence to guidelines was low for both curative and prophylactic purposes (17.4 and 21.8%, respectively), but was better in patients who were younger [adjusted odds ratio<\/jats:p>\n                    <jats:p>(aOR) = 0.96], male (aOR = 0.40), or had cardiac disease with moderate or high infective endocarditis risk (aOR = 21.72), and when prescribed by oral surgeons (aOR = 0.15).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study showed evidence of the overuse of antibiotics among Lebanese dentists.
