dc.description.abstract	The continuing emergence of antimicrobial resis- tant bacteria is a global health problem. Multi-drug resistance is now widespread. Resistance rates differ noticeably on a worldwide, regional and even institu- tional basis. Because antibiotics are commonly used in dentistry, the dental community is not spared from this threat of microbial resistance to antibiotics. This article presents an overview of antimicrobial drug re- sistance, discusses how this large and expensive prob- lem affects the dental community and what we can do to change the situation, both as concerned citizens and as dental practitioners.	en_US
