fa Relationship between odontogenic bacteremia and orthodontic stripping ارتودنسی Orthodontics پژوهشي Research <p> <strong>Introduction</strong></p><p>  The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of bacteremia associated with an orthodontic stripping procedure. </p><p> <strong>Methods</strong></p><p> <strong> </strong>The study included 29 orthodontic patients (mean age, 18.2 ± 3.4 years). We used a standardized stripping procedure: a perforated stripping disk with a contra-angle hand piece was used at a low speed (<15,000 rpm 10 seconds) on the mandibular anterior teeth. Blood samples were collected by inserting a cannula into the left antecubital fossa. A baseline sample was taken before treatment, and a second sample was taken after the stripping procedure. These samples were inoculated into aerobic and anaerobic blood culture bottles and incubated, and the bacterial cultures were identified the samples collected before and after the stripping procedure were statistically analyzed.</p><p> <strong> Results</strong></p><p>  Transient bacteremia was not detected in any pretreatment blood sample, but it was found in 1 postoperative blood sample this sample tested positive for Streptococcus sanguis.</p><p> <strong> Conclusions</strong></p><p>  The bacterial species in the positive postoperative blood sample was S sanguis, which might be associated with infective endocarditis. Clinicians should explain the level of risk to the patient and consult a concerned medical specialist. </p><hr><p></p><p> <strong>Source: </strong>American Journal of Orthodontics & Dentofacial Orthopedics </p><p> <a href="http://www.ajodo.org/article/S0889-5406(13)00384-3/abstract" target="_blank"><font color="#0000ff">Full Text</font></a></p> 0 0 http://idai.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-32-1818&slc_lang=fa&sid=1 Ahmet Yagci 10031947532846008553 10031947532846008553 Yes Department of Orthodontics, Faculty of Dentistry, Erciyes University, Kayseri, Turkey Tancan Uysal 10031947532846008554 10031947532846008554 No Department of Orthodontics, Faculty of Dentistry, Izmir Katip Celebi University, Izmir, Turkey Kevser Kurt Demirsoy 10031947532846008555 10031947532846008555 No Erciyes University, Faculty of Dentistry, Department of Orthodontics, Kayseri, Turkey Duygu Percin 10031947532846008556 10031947532846008556 No Department of Microbiology, Faculty of Medicine, Erciyes University, Kayseri, Turkey
