Antibiotics before tooth removal for people with immune disorders
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Immune system & allergy, Infections, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests whether taking preventive antibiotics before a simple tooth extraction helps prevent infections in people with weakened immune systems due to autoimmune diseases. It might help you avoid complications after your dental procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must have an autoimmune rheumatic disease like lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, or another listed condition.
- You must be taking at least one immunosuppressant or immunomodulator medication (such as prednisone, methotrexate, or azathioprine).
- You must need a simple tooth extraction (not a complicated surgery like an impacted wisdom tooth).
- You cannot be allergic to amoxicillin, and you cannot currently be taking any antibiotics.

This trial tests a new method (Next-X) to help preserve the bone where a tooth is removed. It may be for you if you need a single-rooted tooth pulled and your mouth and health are in good condition.
This study compares three treatments—two antibiotics and a mouth rinse—to see which works best at preventing dry socket, a common painful condition after wisdom tooth removal.
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.
