| Summary: |
Scientific rationale for study: Bacteremia occurs with various frequency after oral
procedures. Periodontal disease may affect the incidence, magnitude, duration and
bacterial spectrum of bacteremia.
Principle findings: The incidence and magnitude of bacteremia after scaling was
significantly higher in periodontitis than in gingivitis patients and healthy control
individuals. In periodontitis patients, the magnitude of bacteremia was associated with
gingival index, plaque index and number of sites with bleeding on probing, but not
with probing pocket depth measurements.
Practical implications: The prevention and treatment of periodontal diseases appear
to be crucial for the prevention of bacteremia associated with oral procedures. |
