Antibiotics after tooth removal for people with rheumatic disease
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Immune system & allergy, Infections, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests whether taking antibiotics after a simple tooth extraction can help prevent infections in people with autoimmune rheumatic diseases who are on immunosuppressive treatments. It aims to find out if antibiotics reduce complications and promote better healing in patients with weakened immune systems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have an autoimmune rheumatic disease such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, or similar conditions.
- You are taking medications like prednisone, methotrexate, or other drugs that suppress the immune system.
- You have a tooth that needs to be removed, but it is a simple extraction (not a wisdom tooth or impacted tooth).
- You are not allergic to amoxicillin (a type of penicillin antibiotic).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at whether giving antibiotics after a tooth extraction helps reduce the risk of infection. It is for healthy adults between 18 and 50 who are having a tooth removed.
This trial tests whether taking antibiotics before a bone graft procedure helps prevent infection better than a placebo. If you need a tooth pulled and a bone graft, you may be able to join.
This trial studies whether taking antibiotics through the body (systemic antibiotics) after sinus-lift and bone-graft dental implant surgery can reduce post-surgery complications and improve patient comfort. It compares outcomes that matter to patients after implant placement using guided bone regeneration and a sinus floor elevation.
This study tests if different antibiotics affect how well dental implants heal in the jaw. Participants need one or more implants in the back of the upper or lower jaw.
This study looks at how gum (periodontal) inflammation affects the body’s immune response during wound healing after a tooth is taken out. You might be considered because you need a molar or premolar extraction where the tooth cannot be repaired.
This trial tests if a special mouth rinse, OROXID®, helps heal and prevent infection after a tooth extraction or root-tip surgery. It may be an option for people who are generally healthy and need this type of oral surgery.
