- Title
The Dental Procedure-Infective Endocarditis Link Controversy Continues.
- Abstract
The article discusses the study of infective endocarditis (IE) in high-risk patients with dental surgery or tooth extractions in the preceding four weeks. The results indicate that there was a significant temporal association between tooth extractions and oral surgery with IE and an association between antibiotic prophylaxis and a lower rate of IE following dental procedures. Researchers abrogated the risk with antibiotic prophylaxis before the procedure.
