Could one antibiotic dose before tooth pulling prevent infections in Immune-Weakened patients?
NCT ID NCT07275580
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 2 times
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.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age ≥18 years * Confirmed diagnosis of an ARD: SLE, RA, JIA, AS, PsA, IIM, systemic vasculitis, primary Sjögren's syndrome, or SSc * Use of prednisone and/or at least one synthetic immunosuppressant (methotrexate, azathioprine, mycophenolate mofetil, leflunomide, cyclophosphamide, cyclosporine, or tacrolimus), immunobiological agent or immunomodulator (chloroquine, sulfasalazine), with no plans to switch medications. * Indication for simple tooth extraction with chronic odontogenic focus * Provided informed consent Exclusion Criteria: * Individuals who do not agree to participate in the study will be excluded. * Patients requiring extractions that are more complex from a technical standpoint, such as impacted third molars. * Patients with local or systemic conditions requiring more extensive antibiotic coverage, such as cases with clinical signs of acute infections, patients on anticoagulant therapy, patients with heart disease, patients who have undergone radiation therapy, or patients currently being treated for neoplasms; * Patients allergic to amoxicillin. * Patients currently receiving any antibiotic prophylaxis or treatment; * Patients who have undergone corticosteroid pulse therapy within the last month; * Patients taking drugs with antiresorptive effects on bone, such as oral or injectable bisphosphonates and denosumab.
