Abstract
Norwegian health authorities have a goal to reduce the total antibiotic use by 30% by 2020. Studies have shown that dentists contribute to about 8% of the total antibiotic consumption in Norway, which emphasizes the role of dentists to achieve a reduction in the use of antibiotics in the society. The antibiotic prescription pattern among Norwegian dentists from 2010 until 2016 have been mapped and investigated through this master thesis. Data from Norwegian Prescription Database (NorPD) were analyzed to evaluate the antibiotic prescription pattern by Norwegian dentists between 2010-2016.
