Q

what are the 3 mechanisms for oral bacteria causing systemic diseases?

A

Q

antibiotics carry risk of ___ and ____

A

allergy and resistance

22
Q

T/F poor oral hygiene and gingival disease are associated with increased risk for bacteremia in IE

A

true

23
Q

T/F dental procedures are more likely to causeIE than random bacteremia from daily activities (brushing and chewing food)

A

false

24
Q

indications for antibiotic prophylaxis

A
  • invasiveness of procedure

- high risk IE

25
Q

what is used for antibiotic prophylaxis

A

single high dose of amoxicillin

26
Q

what is the most common cause of oral bacteria leading to pneumonia?

A
  • compromised airway protective reflexes in elderly
27
Q

T/F aspiration of oral secretions can cause pneumonia

A

true

28
Q

T/F improving oral hygiene in elderly can reduce pneumonia by 40% and 1/10 deaths

A

true

29
Q

_____ in mother is associated with preterm birth

A

periodontitis

30
Q

T/F there is a strong relationship between periodontitis and preterm birth

A

false, causual relationship

31
Q

During immunosuppression, there is a high risk for ______ or ______ of oral origin

A

disseminated strep or candida

32
Q

T/F there is strong evidence for relationship of systemic diseases during immunosuppression caused by dental treatment or efficacy of antibiotics

A

false

33
Q

What are cardiovascular implantable electronic device infections (CIED) infections likely caused by?

A

staph from skin of hospital worker

34
Q

When implanted CIED, is AP recommended for dental treatment?

A

no

35
Q

Most infections (90%) of vascular graft infections are caused by bacteria native to ____ or ____

A

skin or bowels

36
Q

Is AP recommended during dental treatment if patient presents with a vascular graft/stent?

A
  • not recommended

- surgeon may ask for AP because there is a high mortality rate with vascular graft infection

37
Q

T/F patients with intravascular access devices require AP for dental treatment

A

false, infections caused by staph

38
Q

what percentage of bacteria in a joint infection is oral bacteria?

A

5%, mostly caused by skin staph

39
Q

T/F AP is not needed for dental treatment in patient with prosthetic joint

A

true, but patient preference should be considered

40
Q

There is evidence for ______ at the time of joint prostheses placement, but there is lack of evidence for _______ to reduce bacteremia from distant site infections

A
  • primary antibiotic prophylaxis

- secondary prophylaxis

41
Q

T/F bone pins, plates, and screw infections are caused by staph or skin bacteria and AP is not indicated for dental treatment

A

true

42
Q

T/F cerebrospinal fluid shunts have a high rate of infection to oral bacteria

A

false

  • do not involve vascular structure (low bacteremia)
  • mostly skin infections (high rate of infection)
43
Q

T/F there is increased prevalence of periodontitis in diabetics

A

true
