The heightened risk of Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) in IBD patients, particularly when exposed to commonly used dental antibiotics, is attributable to their altered gut microbiota and frequent immunosuppressive therapy. The objective of this review is to evaluate current antibiotic strategies for dental management in IBD and to identify safe and effective alternatives that minimise CDI risk. Methods: A narrative review was conducted in accordance with the SANRA guidelines. A comprehensive analysis of literature sourced from PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Google Scholar was conducted. Results: The available evidence suggests that first- and second-line dental antibiotics\u2014amoxicillin, ampicillin, and clindamycin\u2014carry the highest risk of CDI. In contrast, metronidazole, which exhibits a comparable antimicrobial spectrum, has been shown to possess significantly reduced CDI potential and minimal disruption of gut microbiota. The utilisation of emerging local delivery systems, such as platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), has the potential to further reduce systemic antibiotic exposure. The adjunctive use of probiotics, prebiotics and synbiotics has been demonstrated to have the capacity to maintain microbial balance during therapy. Conclusions: Tailored, microbiome-conscious antibiotic strategies are essential in dental management of IBD patients. Further clinical research is needed to develop evidence-based guidelines and validate promising adjunctive approaches.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm14238392","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,26]],"date-time":"2025-11-26T15:56:41Z","timestamp":1764172601000},"page":"8392","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Patient with Inflammatory Bowel Disease in a Dental Office\u2014Which Antibiotic to Choose?\u2014Narrative Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5236-2298","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Stanis\u0142aw","family":"Niemczyk","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Municipal Hospital No. 4 in Gliwice, Zygmunta Starego 20, 44-100 Gliwice, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wojciech","family":"Niemczyk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dental Surgery, Faculty of Dentistry, Wroclaw Medical University, Krakowska 26, 50-425 Wroclaw, Poland"},{"name":"Department of Periodontal Diseases and Oral Mucosa Diseases, Faculty of Medical Sciences in Zabrze, Medical University of Silesia, pl.
