Infective Endocarditis Risk After Invasive Dental Procedures
The risk of IE was high in high-risk individuals following all types of IDP (particularly following extractions and other oral surgical procedures) and vastly exceeded the risk of adverse drug reactions following antibiotic prophylaxis. Our data therefore support guidance recommending high-risk individuals receive antibiotic prophylaxis and provide quantitative information concerning the IE-risk that can be used to educate and obtain informed consent from patients.
