OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the indications and dosing regimens for oral metronidazole monotherapy (OMM) for the management of oral anaerobic infections (OAIs) other than periodontitis.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines in literature of PubMed/Medline, Scopus, and Cochrane databases. Data were retrieved from reports published in English in the period January 1, 1980 - August 30, 2023. Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Tools were used to assess study risk of bias.
RESULTS: A total of 228 articles were retrieved from the databases of which 16 met the inclusion criteria necessary for achieving the aims of the study. OAIs in which OMM was used or recommended included pericoronitis; necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis/periodontitis/stomatitis, osteomyelitis, acute periapical infection, and cellulitis. OMM was prescribed in dosages ranging from 200 to 500 mg t.i.d. for periods ranging from 2 to 7 days. Osteomyelitis of the jaw was the only infection for which the dosage regimen of metronidazole was not clearly described.
CONCLUSION: Evidence from the databases searched support the view that OMM has clinical efficacy in the treatment of specific OAIs namely pericoronitis and necrotizing oral infections in immune-competent and immune-compromised patients. The evidence does not support the use of OMM in "deep tissue" infections such as osteomyelitis, and odontogenic infections such as acute apical infection and cellulitis. Clinical trials are warranted to determine the efficacy of OMM in comparison with other antibiotic regimens.
