Official title
Bacteremia From Dental Extractions vs. Oral Hygiene
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The major purposes of this prospective, randomized, clinical study are to: 1. Determine and compare the true incidence, nature, magnitude, and duration (INMD) of bacteremia (bacteria found in the bloodstream) resulting from a highly invasive dental office procedure (tooth extraction) and a minimally invasive and naturally occurring source of bacteremia (tooth brushing); 2. Measure the effect of the American Heart Association's guidelines for amoxicillin prophylaxis (preventive treatment) on the INMD of bacteremia resulting from a single tooth extraction.
