Antibiotic Resistance in Dentistry: Guideline Gaps Globally and in India explores the rising threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) through the lens of dental practice. It examines the biological mechanisms of resistance, misuse of antibiotics in dental care, and the lack of standardized guidelines in India. With in-depth analysis of environmental, clinical, and policy dimensions, the book highlights how overprescription, poor regulation, and outdated practices contribute to resistance. It emphasizes the urgent need for evidence-based guidelines, stewardship programs, and global collaboration. Drawing from WHO data, national action plans, and dental prescribing trends, this book is a timely resource for professionals, educators, and policymakers committed to combating AMR and promoting rational antibiotic use in dentistry.
