    Abstract:
    Bacterial endocarditis is a disease with high morbidity and lethality. Bacteremia following diagnostic or therapeutic procedures in oral surgery may cause bacterial endocarditis. Patients with certain kinds of heart diseases are at higher risk to develop bacterial endocarditis. Especially these patients have to be protected by means of systemic and local prophylactic regimens.
