Bacteremia in dentistry treatment

The study focuses on bacteremia in dental procedures, where bacteria enter the bloodstream. Dental procedures, such as surgeries and extractions, can generate transient bacteremia in approximately half of the patients, increasing the risk of infections in patients with pre-existing medical conditions. The research aims to identify the dental procedures with the greatest potential to cause bacteremia and explore their prevalence and associated factors. The use of specific antibiotics influences the prevalence of bacteremia; in some cases, such as with Amoxicillin and Clindamycin, the prevalence is reduced, while in other studies without antibiotics, higher rates are obtained. The objective of the present investigation is to identify which dental procedures have a higher potential to trigger bacteremia
