What antibiotic is recommended for large abscesses requiring incision and drainage (I&D)?

  1. Amoxicillin

  2. Penicillin V

  3. Metronidazole

  4. Clindamycin

The correct answer is: Penicillin V

Penicillin V is the correct answer for treating large abscesses requiring incision and drainage (I&D). Penicillin V is a penicillin antibiotic that is effective against many types of bacteria commonly found in abscesses. It is often recommended as the first-line treatment for odontogenic infections, including abscesses. Amoxicillin, metronidazole, and clindamycin are also commonly used antibiotics in dentistry, but for large abscesses requiring I&D, Penicillin V is the preferred choice due to its efficacy against the bacteria typically involved in oral infections.
