[The clinical significance of bacteremia following tooth extraction]
Abstract:
A group of 61 patients underwent conservative and surgical dental treatment in general anesthesia and their blood was sampled for bacteremia before and after treatment. The antibiotic antibacterial prophylaxis was administered in 21 patients one hr. before treatment (both in conservatively and surgically treated patients). Immediately after the treatment the prevalence of bacteremia amounted to 80% in a group of ATB-free patients. In patients with ATB prophylaxis the prevalence of bacteremia after the treatment amounted to 17%.
