1. Dental infections are a common public health problem that can lead to serious “oral and systemic” health problems if left untreated. Antibiotics are often prescribed to treat these infections, but overuse and misuse of antibiotics can lead to antibiotic resistance, a growing concern worldwide.
2. One way of addressing this problem is through rational antibiotic prescribing, which includes using antibiotics only when necessary and selecting the most appropriate antibiotic for the type of infection and the individual patient's circumstances.
3. The issue of rational use of antibiotics in the treatment of dental infections is the most important area since studentship, and it is a critical disease area that needs to be learned in the field. The purpose of this event is to educate dentists on the importance of appropriate antibiotic prescribing and to promote the adoption of evidence-based guidelines for antibiotic use in dental practice.
4. The widespread impact of these congresses can be seen in the growing awareness among dentists of the risks associated with the overuse and misuse of antibiotics, as well as the importance of using antibiotics wisely to preserve their effectiveness for future generations.
5. The fact that the information presented and discussed in this congress can turn into behavior after being informed is the point where the congress has fulfilled its mission. In this sense, the event means unnecessary and wrong use of antibiotics, mouthwash, etc. Information will be created on the prevention of its use, and an attempt will be made to prevent the rapidly increasing antibiotic resistance due to unnecessary use of antibiotics.
6. The target audience is 3rd, 4th and 5th year dentistry students, public or private dentists and academicians. As was done in previous years, the "congress book" consisting of speech texts and papers will be opened for free online reading. Congress books can be accessed from the congress websites (doinf.sakarya.edu.tr and oralmikrobioterapi.org). The book of this congress will also be placed on the web page after the congress.

8. Interesting information and other PUBLIC spot information generated during the congress will be conveyed in the form of SPOT information with Anadolu Agency and other local media elements, so that the information will reach the public and awareness will be raised. In previous congresses, press releases and congress results were included in the press of those days and the importance of the issue in terms of public health was emphasized in these ways. Therefore, with the congress, it will be expected that the importance of the issue will be understood correctly in the public and thus contribute to the formation of social interest/understanding/consciousness.

The fact that Turkish and foreign scientists from different countries (USA, England, Finland, Nepal, Malaysia, etc.) will attend our 11th Congress as speakers and participants will actually contribute to the gathering of our region and the Turkish scientific world, to discussing and presenting technological developments and innovations. . In this way, the 11th development plan “2.2.3.2. Compliance with the “Science, Technology and Innovation” clause will be ensured. In addition, our project also contributes to the principle of “realization of the national technology move” in the 11th Development Plan targets, Articles 354 and 355.
