Abstract

Routine antibacterial prophylaxis is recommended before dental procedures in select patient populations. Currently, no guidelines are in place for routine prophylaxis before dental procedures in patients with primary immunodeficiency diseases. We review risk factors and provide recommendations on routine dental care and antibacterial prophylaxis in patients with primary immunodeficiency diseases.

Keywords: Antibiotics; Immunodeficiency.
