-41-yo woman, pregnant; prep rheumatic fever
with heart murmur (no valvular abnormality);
,allergy to penicillin. Positive history of infective
endocarditis. Does she need to pre med?
- yes
- no - √Answer>yes
- REVIEW HEALTH HISTORY - on my exam, this
patient had a previous history of infective
endocarditis. Pre-med IS indicated
- many of the OSCE quiz let’s say no....
-Pre-med options for pregnant woman w/hx of
infective endocarditis and penicillin allergy
- amoxicillin
- cephalexin
- clarithromycin
- ciprofloxacin - √Answer>*clarithromycin*
I may not be correct; the correct option may be
cephalexin. however, I chose clarithromycin due to
penicillin allergy, cross reaction with
cephalosporins, and since
clindamycin/erythromycin/azithromycin were not
options. Ciprofloxacin is contraindicated in
pregnancy. article for reference

-What procedure can a dentist perform without
consulting MD if a patient is currently taking
bisphosphonates?
- endo therapy
- prophy and scaling
,- extraction
- occlusal restoration - √Answer>*occlusal
restoration*
although the main HELL NO is extraction,
completing endo therapy increases risk if the apex
is compromised/damaged during therapy. I
teetered on prophy and scaling, but since it did not
specify supragingival, decided that the risk of
scaling can negatively affect the periosteum of a
bisphosphonate patient. ADA recommendations:

management by putting patient in what position
when in your chair (BEFORE they even get to the

her in Brandenburg position.

occurs (by compression Inf vena cava) => must
prevent this in dental chair by it can cause patient
to pass out.

hypotension is to turn the patient, preferably to the

, inferior vena cava. The patient can also be placed
in a sitting position with the knees flexed.

.- pregnancy gingivitis: important to do ScRP (and

growth. The plaque can enter blood stream and
stimulate patient's immune system to produce
prostaglandins, which can trigger uterine
contraction leading to early labour, premature
birth, and a small baby.

#9 with deep probing depth and class 1 mobility on
8 and 9. What is the reason for diastema?

during pregnancy => must emphasize good oral
hygiene, and remove all their plaque so it doesn't
