Judicious use of these antibiotics can prevent the onset of adverse events and enhance the positive patient outcome. The role of antibiotic therapy in orthodontic extraction of premolars among the healthy cohorts is unclear, requiring due consideration.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The prospective study explores the role of prophylactic antibiotic in orthodontic extraction of premolar teeth. Forty-four patients were randomly divided into two groups: group A included 23 patients receiving Amoxicillin 500 mg, while group B included 21 patients receiving Lactose capsule (placebo), for 3 days postextraction. Postextraction the patients were evaluated for postoperative wound healing using Landry scale at day 3, day 10, and day 21. Pain scores were evaluated using 100 mm Visual Analog Scale at day 10.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      This study showed better wound healing in group A (3.74 \u00b1 0.45) compared to group B (3.05 \u00b1 0.22) (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; 0.001) at postop day 3.
