In fact, there are only three major uses of antimicrobial agents in the practice of dentistry: prophylaxis in patients with compromised immune systems caused by certain diseases or medications, prophylaxis in a very limited patient population at risk for developing infective endocarditis, and treatment of an acute dental infection (Goodchild & Donaldson, 2009; American Dental Association, 2021a; Wilson et al., 2021; Lockhart et al., 2019).
