The questionnaire comprised the basic information of respondents, the awareness of antibiotic prophylaxis, and the antimicrobial prescription habits of dentists performing dental implants.

A total of 141 (44.40%) respondents reported concerns regarding the indications for antibiotic use. The most frequently used antibiotics included penicillins, cephalosporins, and nitroimidazoles. Respondents were inclined to prolong antibiotics routinely for more than 24 h, specifically in patients with bone grafts, which reached 85.08%.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Antibiotics are widely used to prevent infection during dental implant surgery in northwest China.
