| pubmed-article:2111359 | pubmed:abstractText | The concentration of cephradine in serum and mandibular bone was assayed in 28 patients undergoing 3rd molar surgery following a single 1 g intravenous injection. Serum and cortical bone samples taken simultaneously, contained mean cephradine concentrations of 42.11 micrograms/ml and 2.61 micrograms/g respectively. These results, when compared with those reported for other bony sites including the femoral head and knee, show a reduced bone penetration with a bone-to-serum ratio of approximately 0.06:1. | lld:pubmed |
