Introduction: In Chile, according to the last census 2017, performed by the National Statistics Institute (INE), the
population with 65 years or older, accounts for 11,4% of Chileans. This reflects an apparent aging of its citizens, in
comparison to previous versions of the census. These demographical changes imply an increase in the numbers of
osteoarticular pathologies, tendency that may be observed globally. Objective: Alongside with a narrative review

local hemostasis measures. Conclusion: According to the latest guidelines reported by diverse medical and dental
societies, it is suggested that the application of antibiotic prophylaxis only in patients with an uncontrolled
systemic pathology, polymedicated, weakened immune system, and/or with a history of prosthetic infection.
