“…In laboratory microbiological terms, although there is no significant influence on reducing the incidence of bacteremia, some workers found the intensity of bacteremia, measured by the number of CFU per milliliter, to be significantly lower when antiseptic mouth rinses were used prior to ultrasonic scaling (46). Taken together, the foregoing data imply that when periodontal procedures are performed on individuals with poor oral hygiene (as indicated by increased plaque indices), there is a higher risk of developing a bacteremia.…”

SUMMARY The human gingival niche is a unique microbial habitat. In this habitat, biofilm organisms exist in harmony, attached to either enamel or cemental surfaces of the tooth as well as to the crevicular epithelium, subjacent to a rich vascular plexus underneath. Due to this extraordinary anatomical juxtaposition, plaque biofilm bacteria have a ready portal of ingress into the systemic circulation in both health and disease. Yet the frequency, magnitude, and etiology of bacteremias due to oral origin and the consequent end organ infections are not clear and have not recently been evaluated. In this comprehensive review, we address the available literature on triggering events, incidence, and diversity of odontogenic bacteremias. The nature of the infective agents and end organ infections (other than endocarditis) is also described, with an emphasis on the challenge of establishing the link between odontogenic infections and related systemic, focal infections.

“…7,[40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47] When the tip of the ultrasonic scaler is inserted between the tooth and gingiva, the junctional epithelium and periodontal ligaments are ruptured; bacteria in the sulcus may enter the bloodstream, causing transient bacteremia. Prophylactic management is now indicated for patients who are at risk before such dental procedures.…”

“…Many dental procedures stimulate a bacteraemia. These include administration of local analgesia, 7 suture removal, 8 orthodontic band placement, 9 toothbrushing, 10 flossing, 11 periodontal probing, 12 dental prophylaxis, 13 periodontal treatments including scaling, root planing or surgery 14 and dental extractions. 15 In order to standardise experimental protocols, both clinical and microbiological, some investigators have examined different dental procedures in the same study.…”
