Knowledge and perception of antibiotic prophylaxis for dental procedures among Nepali dental students: a questionnaire-based study

To ensure appropriate prescribing practices and reduce antibiotic overuse, the integration of a standardized antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) curriculum in all dental institutions in Nepal is strongly recommended.
