& #39;TT & #39; (Tikku and Tikku) system: A simple and novel tooth numbering system for permanent and deciduous teeth
Aseem P Tikku, Tripti Tikku, Saumya JohriIndian Journal of Dental Research 2022 33(4):459-461
Several systems for designating and encoding teeth have been used in dentistry for more than 130 years.[1] In our profession, patients are the primary stakeholders. However, the prevailing tooth numbering system, like the Federation Dentaire Internationale (FDI), is designed focussing the clinicians and does not include the perspective of patients, who have little idea regarding the depicted number of the tooth to be treated, written on the prescription given to them.

Antibiotic prophylaxis before invasive dental procedures for patients at high risk of infective endocarditis - A systematic review
Conclusion: Although using AP for IE may be pragmatic and justified for high-risk patients undergoing invasive dental procedures, the evidence is inconclusive because post-procedural bacteraemia may not be a good surrogate marker for IE. Moreover, trials investigating the direct association between AP and IE are lacking due to low disease prevalence and high-cost challenges. (Source: Indian Journal of Dental Research)
