A 34-year-old man with a prosthetic aortic valve attends his dentist for a routine tooth extraction. He asks whether he should receive antibiotic prophylaxis prior to the procedure.
Select the correct answer
A.
Prophylaxis is recommended because prosthetic valves confer the highest risk category, exempting this patient from NICE CG64 guidance
1
B.
Prophylaxis with amoxicillin 3g orally one hour before the procedure is indicated as per current NICE recommendations
2
C.
Prophylaxis is not recommended; NICE CG64 advises that good oral hygiene and regular dental review are the primary preventive strategies regardless of cardiac risk
3
D.
Prophylaxis is not recommended for routine extractions but is indicated for procedures involving the gingival margin or periapical region of the tooth
4
E.
Prophylaxis should be deferred to the cardiologist's discretion, as NICE CG64 does not apply to patients with prosthetic valves
