The essential role of the dental team in reducing antibiotic resistance (IMAGE)
Caption
Antibiotics are lifesaving drugs--when you need them, you need them to work. Antibiotic resistance (ABR) poses a significant threat to human health and wealth. As patterns of resistance differ between places and over time, it is impossible to provide a single international solution to antibiotic resistance. It is a global problem and growing rapidly due to widespread misuse of antibiotics, putting patients at risk for 'superbugs' that are difficult (and sometimes impossible) to treat with antibiotics. FDI World Dental Federation's White Paper provides a framework for dental teams seeking to participate in tackling the problem of ABR.
