3D Imaging (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) Versus Orthopantomogram on the Oral Health Status at 12 Months of Patients Hospitalized for Infective Endocarditis: a Multicenter Randomized Superiority Controlled Trial.
3D Imaging (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) Versus Orthopantomogram on the Oral Health Status at 12 Months of Patients Hospitalized for Infective Endocarditis: a Multicenter Randomized Superiority Controlled Trial.
1. Infective Endocarditis (IE) is a rare and serious disease with high morbidity and mortality; 2. Streptoccoci of oral origin are the second more frequent microorganisms responsible for IE; 3. Oral Infectious Foci (OIF) are underdetected using the current recommended clinical examination/Orthopantomogram (OPT) approach; 4. Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) has a better sensitivity and sensibility to detect OIF than OPT; 5. To date, no study has been performed to assess the potential benefit of a clinical examination/CBCT approach on the oral health status in IE patients.
Thus, conducting a randomized controlled trial is highly desirable to assess the potential impact of a clinical examination/CBCT approach on the oral health status of patients hospitalized for IE and potentially to reduce IE new episodes.
