Abstract

Oro-dental caused bacteremia is more frequently linked to everyday activities like mastication than tooth extraction. There have been isolated cases of dental infection contaminating prosthetics, but epidemiological studies on joint implant bearers found that antibiotic prophylaxis during oro-dental surgery did not increase the rate of prosthetic infection. The effectiveness of dental antibiotic prophylaxis in immunodepressed patients was not determined by the analysis; however the risk of an infection with a prosthetic is reduced by 30% through oral hygiene and routine dental care. Which is against antibiotic prophylaxis during oro-dental surgery for implant bearers, regardless of implant duration or comorbidity: Costs and risks are out of proportion to effectiveness.
