Antibiotic resistance is a global health threats that require attention from all healthcare providers. In Periodontology, antibiotic is prescribed in many clinical situations. The aim of this study is to assess the followings among Periodontists (1) The knowledge, attitude, and practices (KAP) towards antibiotics and antibiotic resistance; (2) The prescribing practices of antibiotics in periodontal therapy; (3) The correlation between personal perception of antibiotics uses and the professional prescription patterns; and (4) The differences in antibiotics prescription in relation to the years of experience and the academic background.
