what to do if having to do XLA/OS
explore all possible alternatives e.g. RR in absnece of infection do not prescribe antiobiotic/antiseptic prophylaxis following XLA or other OS tx specifically to reduce MRONJ risk perform straighforward procedures in primary care advise pt to contact practice if that have any pain, tingling, numbness, altered senstation or swelling after XLA review healing * if XLA socket not healed after 8 weeks and suspect MRONJ or suspect spontaneous MRONJ, refer to OS/SCD as per local protocols

caries risk assessment | 7
* clinical evidence of previous disease * dietary habits - esp frequency of sugary food and drink consumption * social Hx - socioeconomic status * F use * plaque control * saliva * MHx

guidelines re Infective endocardiditis
SDCEP antibiotic prophylaxis against infective endocarditis 2018 – facilitate NICE CG64 2016
29
pt at inc risk Infective endocardiditis
* acquired valvular heart disease with stenosis or regurgitation * hypertrophic cardiomyopathy * previous infective endocarditis * strutural congenital heart disease * valve replacement
30
special consideration with coadiology consultant regarding AB prophylaxis
* pt with any prosthetic valve * pt with prev episode of infective endocarditis * pt with congential heart disease
31
invasive dental procedures
* placement of matrix bands * placement of subging rubber dam clamps * sub-ging restorations inc fixed prosthodontics * endo tx prior to apical stop established * preformed metal crowns SSC * full perio exam - inc pocket chart * sub-ging PMPR * incision and drainage of abscess * XLAs * OS
32
non-invasive dental procedures
* infiltrations or blocks * BPE * supra-ging PMPR * supra-ging restorations * removal of sutures * radiographs
33
routine management for infective endocarditis risk
Ensure that the patient and/or their carer or guardian are aware of their risk of infective endocarditis and provide advice about prevention, including: * Explain that having an invasive dental procedure may increase the chances of bacteria entering the bloodstream, this is the same for other invasive medical procedures and for non-invasive procedures (tattoo, piercing) * Explain that everyday activities, such as toothbrushing, flossing and chewing can also cause transient bacteraemias and stress the importance of good oral hygiene to reduce the risk from oral bacteria. Give advice on prevention of infective endocarditis to all increased risk patients including: * the potential benefits and risks of antibiotic prophylaxis, and an explanation of why antibiotic prophylaxis is no longer routinely recommended; * dental procedures are no longer thought to be the main cause of infective endocarditis. unclear whether antibiotic prophylaxis prevents infective endocarditis and therefore it may occur whether or not prophylaxis is given.Antibiotics can cause side effects, such as nausea, diarrhoea and allergic reactions and, in rare cases, anaphylaxis and antibiotic-related colitis. Antibiotic resistance. the importance of maintaining good oral health to prevent infective endocarditis. Regular dental check ups, OH, diet advice symptoms that may indicate infective endocarditis, seek GP advice ASAP e Record that this discussion has taken place in the patient’s clinical notes. If, following this discussion, the patient requests antibiotic prophylaxis, consider seeking advice from their cardiology consultant, NICE CG6412 advises that ‘doctors and dentists should offer the most appropriate treatment options, in consultation with the patient and/or their carer or guardian’ and that the final decision should take account of ‘the values and preferences of patients’. Ensure that any episodes of dental infection in patients at increased risk of infective endocarditis are investigated and treated promptly to reduce the risk of endocarditis developing
34
symptoms of IE
seek GP advice ASAP esp if they occur together * high temp/fever 38oC * sweats/chills esp at night * breathlessness * weight loss * tiredness/fatigue * muscle, joint or back pain (unrelated to physical activity) these could be due to less serious infection but need investigated
35
special consideration infective endocarditis management
Assess the patient, in consultation with their cardiology consultant, cardiac surgeon or local cardiology centre, to determine whether to consider antibiotic prophylaxis for invasive dental procedures * If, after this process, it is determined that antibiotic prophylaxis is not required, follow the advice for routine management Where antibiotic prophylaxis is being considered, ensure that the patient and/or their carer or guardian is aware of the risks and potential benefits to allow them to make an informed decision about whether prophylaxis is right for them. * Hypersensitivity, anaphylaxis, antibiotic-associated colitis (dairrhoea) * Take AB prophylaxis 1hour before procedure in dental practice and have to stay there Provide advice about prevention, including: * the importance of maintaining good oral health; * symptoms that may indicate infective endocarditis and when to seek expert advice; * the risks of undergoing invasive procedures, including non-medical procedures such as body piercing or tattooing. Record that this discussion has taken place in the patient’s clinical notes. Ensure that any episodes of dental infection in this group of patients are investigated and treated promptly to reduce the risk of endocarditis developing.

42
general advice for all pt taking anticoag or antiplatelets and require tx that will likely cause bleeding
* plan tx early in day and week * provide pre-tx instructions * tx atruamatically, use appropriate local measures and discharge only when haemostasis achived * place emphasis on use of measures to avoid complications * POIG and emergency contact details
