Antibiotic comparison for dental infections
Treatments studied
Part of Infections, Skin clinical trials.
This study compares two antibiotics, moxifloxacin and clindamycin, to see which works better for treating dental infections that can be managed in a clinic. If you have a dental infection that needs a minor procedure and antibiotics, this trial could help find the best treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial compares starting antibiotics through a vein (IV) to taking them by mouth for common infections like pneumonia, urinary tract infections, or skin infections (cellulitis). The goal is to see if oral antibiotics work just as well without the need for an IV line.
This trial tests whether adding the anti-inflammatory medicine naproxen to your usual antibiotic treatment helps you recover faster from cellulitis (a painful skin infection). If you are being treated at home with oral antibiotics, this study may help reduce swelling and pain while your infection clears.
This study compares two oral antibiotics, TMP-SMX and clindamycin, to see which works better for children with MRSA infections in bones, joints, or head/neck areas. It aims to find the best treatment after initial IV therapy.
This trial tests whether adding clindamycin helps treat skin and soft-tissue infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus. You may be eligible if your infection was diagnosed recently and a sample was collected soon after hospital admission.
This study tests whether taking an antibiotic called azithromycin helps treat dental implant infections (peri-implantitis) when added to standard cleaning. It aims to find a less invasive treatment option for people with implant infections.
This study tests if clindamycin, a common antibiotic, works as well as vancomycin to prevent infections during heart surgery on the aorta (the main artery from the heart). Patients must be having planned morning surgery with the heart-lung machine and understand French.
