title: [An investigation analysis of prophylactic application of antibiotics in ten types of oral and maxillofacial surgery].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate the prophylactic application of antibiotics in oral and maxillofacial surgery and to provide a scientific basis for its reasonable use.
  
  
  METHODS
  The use of prophylactic antibiotics in the oral and maxillofacial surgery was conducted in our hospital from January 2011 to August 2013 based on a retrospective survey, and the conditions and affecting factors were analyzed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The utilization rates of prophylactic antibiotics were respectively 98.9%, 61.8%, and 24.6%, showing a downward trend. But the infection rate of surgical site did not significantly increase, and by Fisher's exact test, the difference was not significant (P>0.05). Surgical site infections (SSI) rates did not rise between using and not using prophylactic antibiotics (P>0.05).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The use of prophylactic antibiotics is greatly influenced by the policy, and along with the decline in antibiotic usage, SSI have not increased significantly.
