Endocarditis prophylaxis is recommended during following dental procedures except_____________?
Correct answer: C. Initial placement of orthodontic brackets
- A. Dental extractions
- B. Intracanal endodontic treatment
- C. Initial placement of orthodontic brackets
- D. Periodontal procedures
Explanation
Routine placement of orthodontic brackets does not usually involve significant bleeding or manipulation of gingival tissue, so prophylaxis is not recommended for it. Extractions, periodontal surgery and endodontic procedures may produce bacteraemia and can require prophylaxis in an eligible high-risk cardiac patient.
