Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effects of prophylactic antibiotics in healthy individuals who are in need of surgical crown lengthening. The main question it aims to answer is if single dose antibiotics prior to surgical crown lengthening has any effects on the healing outcomes.

Participants will be asked to take either

• 2 g of amoxicillin + clavulanate, or

• placebo, one hour prior to surgery and without knowing what medicine they took.

Researchers will compare the wound healing and self-reported outcomes of the antibiotics group and placebo group.
