Risk of Infective Endocarditis After Invasive Dental Treatments: A Case-Only Study.

Conclusions -In both study designs, we did not observe a clinically larger risk for IE in the short periods after IDTs. We also found no association between IDTs and IE among high-risk patients. Therefore, antibiotic prophylaxis for prevention of IE is not required for the Taiwanese population. PMID: 29674326 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
