“…Over forty years ago it was found that dental extractions produced a transitory bacteraemia and it was suggested that this phenomenon had a bearing on the aetiology of infective endocarditis in patients with rheumatic and congenital heart disease (Okell & Elliott 1935). It is known now that most dental manipulations including extractions (Jones et al 1970), scaling (Bandt et al 1964, Conner et al 1967, surgical periodontal procedures (Korn & Schaffer 1962, Bender et al 1963, filling of teeth (Harvey & Capone 1961) and root canal treatment (Farrington 1973) introduce bacteria into the blood stream as do such patient performed procedures as chewing (Cobe 1954), oral irrigation (Romans & App 1971, Berger et al 1974) and tooth-brushing (Cobe 1954, Rise et al 1969, Sconyers et al 1973, Madsen 1974.…”

Ninety-six subjects were assigned to one of four groups according to severity of gingival inflammation and bacterial plaque accumulation on the teeth. Following a standardized toothbrushing procedure, blood specimens from a vein in the antecubital fossa were cultured under aerobic and stringent anaerobic conditions. The percentage of positive cultures increased significantly with increasing severity of gingival inflammation, as did the number of species of organisms isolated. Thirty different microbial species indigenous to the oral cavity, including many strict anaerobes, were recovered. The study has implications for standards of oral health which might be considered necessary in patients with congenital or acquired endocardial defects or cardiovascular prostheses.

“…The incidence of viable bacteria in the blood stream postoperatively was found to be higher following the use of ultrasonics compared to manual instrumentation (Bandt et al. ). Using culture methods, the incidence of bacteraemia following ultrasonic scaling was estimated to be 13%, whereas with PCR analysis, this was 23% (Kinane et al.…”

The collective evidence indicates that overall, no additional effects were observed. There is a "very weak" recommendation based on the sub-analysis showing that in conjunction with PVP, a very small gain in CAL may be expected. For the use of CHX or EO, the added effect can be considered to be "zero." Therefore, the strength and direction of the recommendation emerging from this review is against their use.

“…During working hours, the mean airborne microbial load increased by over 300%. Bacteraemia is defined as the presence of bacteria in the blood (Bandt et al 1964). If ultrasonic scalers are used subgingivally, then the aerosol produced will contain blood contamination (Barnes et al 1998).…”
