The etiopathology of acuteapicalabscesses includes active (lytic) herpesviruses and gram-negative anaerobic bacteria. The present study examined the potential of valacyclovir, an anti-herpesvirus agent, and systemic amoxicillin to manage the pain of acuteapicalabscesses.
Evidence-based clinical practice guideline on antibiotic use for the urgent management of pulpal- and periapical-related dental pain and intraoral swelling: A report from the American Dental Association.

Objectives: To evaluate the effects of systemic antibiotics provided with or without surgical intervention (such as extraction, incision and drainage of a swelling, or endodontic treatment), with or without analgesics, for symptomatic apical periodontitis and acuteapicalabscess in adults.
Patients with pulpal and periapical conditions often seek treatment for pain, intraoral swelling, or both. Even when definitive, conservative dental treatment (DCDT) is an option, antibiotics are often prescribed.
The present study examined the potential of valacyclovir, an anti-herpesvirus agent, and systemic amoxicillin to manage the pain of acuteapicalabscesses.
This randomized clinical trial aimed to evaluate the efficacy of valacyclovir monotherapy in alleviating postoperative pain and reducing the risk of recurrent infection following emergency chamber opening for acuteapicalabscesses.
This guideline addresses antibiotic use for the urgent management of pulpal- and periapical-related dental pain and intra-oral swelling. The guideline is endorsed by the American College of Emergency Physicians.
Conclusions: In the management of localized acuteapicalabscess in the permanent dentition, the abscess should be drained through a pulpectomy or incision and drainage. This analysis indicated that antibiotics are of no additional benefit.
