An investigation of the frequency of bacteraemia following dental extraction, tooth brushing and chewing
نویسندگان
چکیده
We conducted a study to determine the frequency of bacteraemias following dental extraction and common oral procedures, namely tooth brushing and chewing, and the relationship between bacteraemia and oral health in black patients. Positive blood cultures were detected in 29.6% of patients after dental extraction, in 10.8% of patients after tooth brushing and in no patients after chewing. No relationship between the state of oral health, which was assessed using the plaque and gingival indices, and the incidence of bacteraemia was found. The duration of bacteraemia was less than 15 minutes. One patient had a positive blood culture prior to dental extraction; his oral health status was poor. Our study confirmed that bacteraemia occurs after tooth brushing.
