The oral cavity is densely populated with microorganisms. As a result, intraoral surgical sites are prone to contamination by pathogens, potentially triggering surgical site infections (SSIs). Prophylactic antibiotics have proven beneficial in reducing the rate of SSIs. However, no consensus has been reached regarding the most effective regimen. The purpose of this study was to investigate two different antibiotic regimens – single-dose and prolonged antibiotic prophylaxis – regarding the rate and severity of postoperative SSIs in patients undergoing orthognathic surgery.
