  • Title: Dental treatment, antibiotic cover and infective endocarditis: a major rethink.
    Author: Seymour RA.
    Journal: Dent Update; 2008; 35(6):366-8, 370. PubMed ID: 18717098.
    Abstract:
    UNLABELLED: The NICE Guidelines on Prophylaxis against Infective Endocarditis were published early this year. In this review, consideration is given to the evidence that the Working Party evaluated in arriving at their recommendations. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The NICE Guidelines will have a very significant impact upon clinical practice. Antibiotic cover to prevent infective endocarditis prior to dental treatment has been a confusing and contentious issue. All members of the dental team should welcome these Guidelines which will impact upon the delivery of dental care to many categories of patient.
