title: [Trends in the use of antimicrobial agents in Kanagawa Dental College, Hospital].
abstract: The development and expansion of antimicrobial agents has made a remarkable improvement. Recently we began to use newqinolon agents, furthermore we began to use the third generation of oral cephem agents. We anticipate we will have a large change of trends in the use of antimicrobial agents. We investigated the trends in the use of antimicrobial agents between April 1st, 1983 to March 31st, 1988, to prepare for the trends in the future. 1) A total use of antimicrobial agents in Kanagawa Dental College, Hospital has increased 19% over the last five year. 2) Trends in the use of injection of antimicrobial agents has decreased over the same period of time, otherwise trends in the use of oral antimicrobial agents has increased tremendously 3) The use of newqinolon agents were less than 0.07% in one year.
