    This document provides a review of related literature and studies on the topics of infective endocarditis and dental procedures. It includes summaries of several foreign and local studies. The foreign studies examined the relationship between oral hygiene, toothbrushing, single-tooth extraction, and bacteremia. One study compared the incidence of bacteremia from toothbrushing versus single-tooth extraction. The local literature discussed the relationship between untreated dental decay and body mass index in Filipino children, as well as the Philippine Dental Act of 2007 which governs the practice of dentistry.

    Review of related literature and studies

    Foreign Literature

    Antibiotic prophylaxis recommendations for the prevention of infective endocarditis are based in

    part on studies of bacteremia from dental procedures, but toothbrushing may pose a greater

    threat. The purpose of this study was to compare the incidence, duration, nature, and

    magnitude of endocarditis-related bacteremia from single-tooth extraction and toothbrushing

    and to determine the impact of amoxicillin prophylaxis on single-tooth extraction. amoxicillin has

    a significant impact on bacteremia resulting from a single-tooth extraction, given the greater

    frequency for oral hygiene, toothbrushing may be a greater threat for individuals at risk for

    infective endocarditis.

    Infective endocarditis (IE) often is caused by bacteria that colonize teeth. The authors

    conducted a study to determine if poor oral hygiene or dental disease are risk factors for

    developing bacteremia after toothbrushing or single-tooth extraction.

    One hundred ninety-four participants in a study were in either a toothbrushing group or a single-

    tooth extraction with placebo group. The authors assessed the participants' oral hygiene,

    gingivitis and periodontitis statuses. They assayed blood samples obtained before, during and

    after the toothbrushing or extraction interventions for IE-associated bacteria

    Foreign studies

    According to Martin J Davis Pediatr Dent 10 (4), 328B329, 2009Members of the College of

    Diplomates of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry were surveyed in January, 2009, to

    establish current trends in the use of conscious sedation and to relate these trends to certain
    demographic data and circumstances of contemporary pediatric dentistry practice. Several

    questions were restatements of the 1980 Association of Pedodontic

    According to Michael A Truocchio US Patent 5,217, 2010 A dentistry practice or method

    requiring a patient's possession of dental drill components, ie drill burr, handset or drill burr

    attaching means, etc., which are unavoidably in danger of HIV virus contamination during typical

    use, and the relinquishing of this possession to the dentist preparatory to the use thereof,

    thereby totally obviating any inter-patient contamination of these dental drill components that

    could transmit the HIV virus resulting in AIDS.

    Journal of dental research 87 (7), 605, 2008 Controlled clinical trials have long been recognized

    as the ‘gold standard’for evidence-based research related to clinical practice. They may be

    randomized (RCTs) to reduce or eliminate bias in patient selection, operator inclination, and

    other confounding factors. These trials have been funded by public and private institutions,

    including the dental industry. They form the basis for approval of clinical treatments and the

    introduction of new or modified dental materials prior to marketing. The RCTs also form the

    basis for meta-analysis, which is considered to be the optimal approach to evidence-based

    dentistry. Practice-based dental research (PBDR) networks have been in function in the UK for

    some time. They vary markedly in approach to the research, covering anything from product

    testing to educational networks, with emphasis on continuing and advanced education.

    Recently, practice-based clinical research formally entered the dental research arena in the

    US—much to the credit of an initiative by the NIDCR/NIH (National Institute of Dental and

    Craniofacial Research/National Institutes of Health), after the Institute announced, in 2003, the

    opportunity for funding practice-based research over a seven-year period. Three equal awards

    were funded in 2005, totaling $75 million. Since dental practice-based research networks are

    developing on a large scale in the US, it is timely to consider the potential advantages of PBDR.

    Much can be learned from the numerous medical practice-based research networks that have
    been in operation internationally for several years. However, it must be kept in mind that the

    outcomes of dental treatment differ from those in medical practice, in that the technical aspects

    of the treatment usually have more influence on the outcome in dental practice than in medical

    practice. The dentists in RCTs are established, recognized, experienced, and often specially

    trained clinicians. These trials have specific requirements for patient selection, including types of

    lesions to be treated, patient age, health status, and sometimes gender. The clinicians work

    without time constraints. The diagnostic criteria and the outcome measures are defined. They

    are followed up by standardization and calibration of the involved dentists. The clinicians

    evaluating the outcome are different from the operators performing the procedure, and they are

    blinded to the procedure whenever possible. These conditions may also apply to practice-based

    research, but there is more to practice-based studies than doing controlled clinical trials in

    general practice settings, including identification of recurring problems in dental practice. It has

    been suggested that the training of selected clinicians to conduct standardized

    According to Habib Benzian, decay is the most common childhood disease worldwide and most

    of the decay remains untreated. In the Philippines caries levels are among the highest in the

    South East Asian region. Elementary school children suffer from high prevalence of stunting and

    underweight. The present study aimed to investigate the association between untreated dental

    decay and Body Mass Index (BMI) among 12-year-old Filipino children.

    According to Republic Act 9489

    The regulation, control, and supervision of the practice of dentistry, dental hygiene and dental

    technology in the Philippines; The giving of licensure examination to graduates of recognized

    dental schools of dentistry, dental hygiene and dental technology for the purpose of registration;
    The accreditation of the various specialties’ of dentistry; The promotion and development of

    continuing dental education and research in the country; The enforcement of the Code of Ethics

    and Code of Dental Practice in the Philippines; and The stipulation of penalties for &actions or

    violations of this Act or any other laws, rules and regulations authorized under the provisions of

    this Act.

    According to “Philippine Dental Act of 2007”, rules and regulations governing the practice of

    Dentistry, and this Code, as may be committed by a duly licensed dentist, dental hygienist, or

    dental technologist, or non-Dentist, which comes to their knowledge, to the appropriate chapter

    or affiliate society, the Board, or the Professional Regulation Commission. Alleged illegal dental

    practitioners must be treated with due respect in accordance to their primary human rights and

    must be presumed innocent until proven guilty.
