Is Dalacin C (clindamycin) an appropriate medication after a one-step tooth implantation, especially if there was flux on the extracted tooth?

Yes, Dalacin C (clindamycin) is a frequently used antibiotic for the prevention and treatment of infections after tooth implantation procedures, especially in patients who are allergic to penicillins or when there is a risk of infection. For one-step implantation, if your doctor has prescribed clindamycin, this is usually the right choice, especially when there was flux on the extracted tooth, which can increase the risk of infection.

However, it is worth remembering that antibiotics are not always necessary after extraction or implantation - the decision depends on the doctor's assessment of the risk of infection, the patient's condition and the course of the procedure. Clindamycin administered for approximately 7 days, according to a typical schedule (e.g. 150 mg every 6 hours), is effective in reducing the risk of infectious complications. If you have doubts about your treatment or if you experience symptoms such as pain, swelling or redness, contact your doctor.
