The literature related to infective endocarditis and antibiotic prophylaxis has been reviewed. Since 1977, recommendation of antibiotic prophylaxis for patients with cardiac diseases who undergo dental treatment has been published several times by the American Heart Association and once by the British Society of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy. The use of amoxicillin to prevent transient bacteremia after dental treatment is currently accepted in both countries, while there is a difference in the doses administered. Recently, the significance of maintaining a high level of oral hygiene has been emphasized in preventing the development of infective endocarditis. This was conducted with reference to the fact that the intensity of cumulative exposure to bacteria from "everyday" events such as mastication and tooth brushing is more than a thousand times greater than that which follows surgical procedures, such as extraction of teeth.
