Could one antibiotic dose before tooth pulling prevent infections in Immune-Weakened patients?

NCT ID NCT07275580

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether a single dose of amoxicillin before a simple tooth extraction can prevent infections in people with autoimmune rheumatic diseases who are on immune-suppressing medications. Researchers will compare infection rates between those who get the antibiotic and those who get a placebo. The goal is to see if this common practice is actually effective and safe.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Amoxicillin

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that a single antibiotic dose is enough to prevent infections after tooth extraction in immunosuppressed patients, reducing unnecessary antibiotic use.

What could go wrong

This is a Phase 4 trial, but it is not yet recruiting and has a moderate size (352 participants). The results may not apply to all autoimmune diseases or extraction types, and the placebo group could show similar infection rates.
