The global threat of antibiotic resistance - with David Herrera

In the latest episode of our Next ReGeneration Podcast, our hosts Anina and Elena, engage in a compelling discussion with David Herrera, Professor of Periodontology from the University Com-plutense of Madrid. Together, they shed light on the urgent issue of Antibiotic Resistance. In 2050, it is estimated that 10 million lives could be lost due to antimicrobial resistance. Dentists, responsible for 10% of global antibiotic prescriptions, play a significant role in this context. Unfortunately, overprescription without considering the future implications has become a concerning part of the problem, as Herrera explains in our latest episode. Herrera talks also about guidelines and scientific evidence on antibiotic use in dentistry, from prophylactic treatments to managing chronic and acute conditions, as well as the impact it has on the microbiome. Stay informed and be part of the solution to combat this growing concern, safeguarding antibiotics for a healthier future.
