Antimicrobial Stewardship SYMPOSIUM
Antibiotic resistance is considered a pressing international public health problem, associated with increased morbidity, mortality and health care costs. Antibiotic consumption is recognized as a cause of emerging resistance, some of which is directly attributed to the indiscriminate or poor use of antibiotics. In this symposium, international experts will discuss these issues and the role of dental teams in raising awareness, preventing and controlling infections, and optimizing the use of antibiotics through antibiotic stewardship in dentistry.
