Bacteremia Due to Periodontal Probing: A Clinical and Microbiological Investigation

Abstract: Patients with untreated adult periodontitis are at greater risk of bacteremia due to periodontal probing than patients with chronic gingivitis. For individuals at risk of infective endocarditis, radiographic assessment prior to periodontal probing would be advisable to identify those with periodontitis so that appropriate antibiotic prophylaxis can be provided.

“…Patients' oral health status correlates with the occurrence of bacteremia 21 and could infl uence the risk of developing endocarditis. 23 Spontaneous bacteraemia from the oral cavity, which occurs during daily activities such as chewing or tooth brushing, is considered to cause a high percentage of endocarditis cases. 20 It is therefore reasonable to argue that the remaining 4-14% that are considered to be caused by dental procedures may also be caused by spontaneous bacteremias.…”

“…In many earlier studies, It has been found that the incidence and magnitude of bacteremia in patients with the periodontal disease are higher than those with a healthy periodontium (8,19,33). It has been reported that among patients with chronic periodontitis, the magnitude of bacteremia was directly associated with the level of gingival inflammation.…”

“…There are several reports which have shown that the viridans streptococci are the most common cause of infective endocarditis (5,6) and the viridans group streptococcal bacteremia is more frequently inducible in patients with severe periodontal disease (7,8). However, there are no reports on the collective analysis of the oral VGS and its relation with infective endocarditis in cases of periodontitis.…”

“…Une multitude d'études ont démontré que la simple mastication, le sondage parodontal, le surfaçage radiculaire, le dépassement instrumental lors d'un traitement endodontique, les extractions, le brossage et le passage du fil dentaire induisent un passage de bactéries dans la voie sanguine lorsque les tissus gingivaux sont fragilisés par une inflammation [30][31][32][33]. Geerts et al [34] ont mis en évidence la libération systémique d'endotoxines bactériennes d'origine orale suite à la mastication, surtout en cas d'une parodontite sévère.…”
