Pre-med options for pregnant woman w/hx of infective endocarditis and penicillin allergy
- amoxicillin
- cephalexin
- clarithromycin
- ciproflaxacin - VERIFIED 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/azthromycin
were not options. Ciproflaxacin 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 - VERIFIED 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 bisphosphanate
patient. ADA recommendations:
