Dental care and the prosthetic joint patient: a survey of orthopedic surgeons and general dentists

M K Shrout et al. J Am Dent Assoc. 1994 Apr.

Abstract

Orthopedic surgery and general dentistry residency program directors were surveyed about treatment considerations for dental patients with prosthetic joints. The majority believed dental diseases can affect joint prostheses and thought orthopedic surgeons should be consulted before dental treatment. Both groups recommended antibiotic prophylaxis for these patients.
