Objectives:
Compared with
previous recommendations, there are currently very few patients who require
antibiotic prophylaxis (AP) prior to dental procedures. The purpose of this
course is to help dental professionals understand the current guidelines for AP
prior to dental procedures. We will examine the growing concern for antibiotic
resistance and the role dental professionals have in antibiotic stewardship.
This course will also focus on the 2021 AHA Scientific Statement which
reaffirms the 2007 recommendations that emphasizes good oral health and regular
access to dental care as more important that AP for a dental procedure.
