| Abstract | The role of antibiotic prophylaxis in patients with prosthetic joints who require dental treatment is controversial. A Working Party of the British Society for Antimicrobial Chemotherapy (BSAC) recently suggested that there was no evidence to support the use of antibiotic prophylaxis in these patients. The purpose of this study was to determine how closely these recommendations were being followed by maxillofacial surgeons (MFS), and to see if there was any consensus on the management of these patients between MFS and orthopaedic surgeons (OPS). With the aid of a postal questionnaire, the opinions of 250 consultant MFS and OPS were sought, response rates were 148 (59.2%) and 113 (41.2%), respectively. Of the OPS, 77.7% always recommended the use of antibiotic prophylaxis as opposed to only 29% of MFS. There were also wide differences in opinion with regard to the antibiotic that should be used in these patients, with the majority of OPS suggesting a cephalosporin, although this may not be the most efficacious antibiotic for oral streptococci. We conclude that this important matter seems to be far from satisfactorily resolved and that further cooperation between the specialties is required to produce guidelines for the safe and effective management of this increasing group of patients. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
