Asked By:Jam 2014 in Concord, MA

I am looking for antibiotics guidelines for tooth implant (for placing implant). Tolerate Doxyxyclin and Metronidazole. Ciprofloxacin. Don't tolerate Amoxicyclin (though no penicilline allergy). This will be second attempt to get implant, first attempt was unsuccessful. I talked to many specialists but didn't get any help. Also is it necessary to take an antibiotics course for this procedure if there is no risk of endocarditis? Thank you!
