Infective endocarditis prophylaxis
Infective endocarditis is a serious infection disease which has a mortality rate of 30% in the first year in our country. Today in the majority of the cases, infective endocarditis is thought to develop after transient bacteremia of bacteria in the oral microbiota during daily procedures such as toothbrushing. Good oral hygiene and dental care are more effective than antibiotic prophylaxis. In recent guidelines, antibiotic prophylaxis is recommended for the high-risk group for the development of infective endocarditis and for dental procedures with bleeding.
