Popis: Introduction: The administration of antibacterial agents to reduce or eliminate pre and postoperative infections in diabetics has been polemic and controversial topic in Dentistry for decades. Objective: To determine glycemic control in diabetic patients after applied stomatological treatments and the use of antibacterial prophylaxis. Methods: Observational descriptive cross-sectional study in 32 diabetic patients who required dental assistance in primary care. The variables type of diabetes, dental treatment performed, use of antibacterial prophylaxis, type of antibacterial agent prescribed and glycemic control were operationalized. For the determination of the latter, the blood glucose figures were measured instants before the treatment carried out and 24 hours later. The mean values obtained were compared through Wilcoxon of the signed ranks and U-Mann-Whitney non-parametric tests. Results: The most performed stomatological treatments were dental extraction and scaling. Numbers of glycemia suffered increases after these procedures, but were not clinically significant and were not related to the use of antibacterial prophylaxis. Glycemic control was adequate in 84.4 % of diabetic patients. Conclusions: The glycemic control of diabetic patients after the stomatological treatments performed is adequate and is not related to the use of antibacterial prophylaxis.
