Eighty-one patients who underwent the extraction of impacted mandibular third molars in the nonfasting state were given a single oral dose of talampicillin (500 mg) preoperatively. Specimens of venous blood (n = 132), gingiva (n = 70), mandibular bone (n = 78), dental follicle (n = 63), and dental pulp (n = 59) were obtained during the operation and assayed for ampicillin content. The mean peak concentrations in serum (9.64 micrograms/ml), gingiva (4.72 micrograms/mg), mandibular bone (1.77 micrograms/ml), dental follicle (3.46 micrograms/ml), and dental pulp (5.53 micrograms/mg) all occurred at approximately 150 minutes after administration of talampicillin. The ratios of the corresponding serum concentration to the peak concentrations in the various oral tissues when both were plotted as drug concentration curves were: gingiva, 0.50; mandibular bone, 0.16; dental follicle, 0.34; and dental pulp, 0.52. Talampicillin was absorbed well by the intestine, and sufficient concentrations of the resulting metabolite, ampicillin, were found in oral tissues.
