Patients with implants or devices face perceived risks from oral bacteremia. However, dental procedures rarely cause these metastatic infections, making causality claims unfounded in most cases.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Science
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Dental Medicine

Background:

  • Many medical implants and devices are thought to increase patient risk of bacteremia originating from the oral cavity.
  • Examples include intravascular access devices, organ transplants, vascular grafts, coronary stents, breast implants, and penile prostheses.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the infection risks associated with implants and devices due to transient bacteremia of oral origin.
  • To offer recommendations for the appropriate management of dental care for at-risk patients.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review on implant/device infections and oral bacteremia.
  • Analysis of the causal link between dental procedures and metastatic infections.

Main Results:

  • Transient bacteremia from oral sources is a potential, though rare, cause of implant or device infections.
  • Evidence directly linking dental treatment procedures to metastatic infections in patients with implants/devices is scarce.

Conclusions:

  • The risk of implant or device infection from dental treatment-induced bacteremia is very low.
  • Attributing metastatic infections to dental procedures is generally unsubstantiated and requires careful consideration of other etiological factors.
