Cards

Term
required premed dose of amoxycillin
Definition
4 tablets 500 mg each=2000 mg
Term
required premed dose of clyndomycin
Definition
600mg 1 hr prior to dental care
Term
bacteriacidal
Definition
kill invading microbes but do not harm host
Term
bacterialstatic
Definition
reduce # of microbes so the bodys immune system can combat microbe more effectively
Term
who needs premed?
Definition

completely repaired congenital heart defect with prosthetic material or device during 1st six months after procedure.

 

repaired heart defect with residual defect

 

unrepaired or incompletely repaired cyanotic congenital heart disease

 

cardiact transplant

 

joint replacement

 

other immunocompromised conditions

Term
what conditions no longer require premed?
Definition

mitral valve prolapse

 

rheumatic heart disease

 

bicuspid valve disease

 

calcified aortic stenosis

 

ventricular/septal defect, atrial septal defect/hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

Term
what are the 4 most commonly used anit-infectives used for premed?
Definition

pcn (amoxicillin) 2000mg

 

clindamycin 600mg

 

Azithromycin 500 mg

 

cefazoline 1gram 30 min prior to dental procedure

Term
what is a problem with antibiotics and the blood brain barrier.
Definition
antibiotics dont pass through blood brain barrier well
Term
dental infections
Definition

caries (S mutans.)- treat with flouridated water,chlorhexidine, and bacterial plaque disruption.

 

periodontal disease- (A.A., P.gingivalis, P. intermedia, fusobacterium spp)-treat with arestin(minocyline) or atridox (doxycycline)


Localized dental infections(endo and perio related)if there is adequate drainage, anti-infectives may not be needed.  when needed anti-infective is dependent on the organisms present.


systemic-(fever, malaise, tachycardia) lesions should be drained, antibiotics used for 2-3 days or until infection is gone.

Term
dental infection "Evolution"
Definition

initially-gram + cocci

 

then: gram + cocci and gram - anaerobic (a mixed infection)

 

even later: increase in anaerobic which is primarily contents of an abscess.

 

the anti-infective chosen is dependent on what stage host is in.

 

for gram + infection penicillin is good (VK) if pt is allergic to penicillin, use erythromycin or clindamycin.

 

if later infection clindomycin or metronidazole

Term
rationale use of anti-infectives stage 1
Definition

cellulitis, gram +

 

drug of choice VK(penicillin) 500 mg q6h for 5-7 days 

 

2nd choices:

erythromycin-causes nausea

 

clindamycin-causes GI distress

Term
reational use of anti infective stage 2
Definition

when mixed gram + and gram -

 

use clindamycin and metronidazole (flagyl)

 

PCN/VK may work too.

Term
stage 3 rational use of anti infectives
Definition
organisms coalesced into on area and are anaerobic (abscess)
Term
what are antimicrobials of choice in dentistry
Definition

 antimicrobials used in dentistry

 

pen VK

 

amoxicillin

 

doxycyline and tetracycline (these are bacterialstatic they wont kill all micro organisms)

 

metronidazole

 

clindamycin

Term
if allergic to penicillin
Definition

metronidazole used

 

tetracycline

 

cephalosporin 

 

if allergy to pen VK

Term
antibiotic treatment is based on
Definition
the most likely organism involved
Term
anti infective agents do what
Definition
act against or destroy MO
Term
what is the purpose of antibacterial agents
Definition
destroy or suppress the growth and multiplication of MO
Term
antibiotic agents are used to
Definition

 antibiotic agents destroy or suppress growth and multiplication of MO

 

they are produced by microorganisms

Term
infection
Definition
invasion and reaction of tissues
Term
minimum inhibitory concentration
Definition
minimum amount that will adress problem
Term
resistance
Definition

 bacteria learn to make enzyme to destroy penVK which inactivates it

 

cause by

appropriate choice of antibiotic

 

not taking full prescription

not taking as prescribed

incection with resistant strain

Term
spectrum
Definition

range of activity of drug against bacteria

 

narrow

intermediate

broad(kills everything even the normal flora)

Term
adverse reactions to anti-infectives
Definition

indirect toxicity/superinfection-new infection with different resistant bacteria or fungi due to killing normal flora

(example, stomatitis or glossitis)to treat use antifungal meds or yogurt to replenish normal flora of GI.

 

fungal-use nystatin to treat

 

hypersenstitivity/delayed immune response(rash, fever)discontinue meds and use corticosteriods.

 

anaphylaxis-allergic reactions PCN and cephalosporin cause more.  erythromycin and clindomycin cause less.

 

direct toxicity- tissue damage (ototoxicity, hepatoxicity, blood dyscrasias, phlebitia, photoxiticty (tetracycline)

Term
theraputic indications
Definition

good immune response is best defense

 

natural drainage of abcess may eliminate need for antibiotics.

 

acute severe rapidly spreading infectio should be treated with effective 

Term
selection of anti-infective drugs depend on a persons
Definition

status of liver

age

if pregnancy or lactating
