[Function of antiseptics in reducing post-extraction bacteremia].
A descriptive, transversal, prospective and comparative study was carried out, during six months, at the Department of Maxillofacial Surgery, "Saturnino Lora" Teaching Provincial Hospital, Santiago de Cuba, in order to detect effect of irrigating the gingival sulcus region with 1% chlorhexidine and povidone-iodine on incidence of bacteremia in comparison with control solution (saline solution). It is proved that the irrigation of gingival sulcus with an antiseptic solution is a useful element as complement of antibiotic prophylaxis in patient with risk of undergoing bacterial endocarditis. The 92 microorganisms isolated post-exodontia were examined against eight antibiotics and produced results supporting the use of penicillin and macrolides in the prophylaxis of infectious endocarditis.
