本文的目的是讨论与正畸手术相关的菌血症的患病率和强度，并帮助正畸医生制定治疗先天性或获得性心脏病儿童的实用指南。初步结果表明，在插入正畸分离器后，菌血症的强度比基线显著增加。细菌性心内膜炎（BE）发展的可能性极低，质疑除拔牙外的其他手术是否需要抗生素预防。然而，对于“有风险”的患者来说，非常高的口腔卫生标准是必不可少的，而且患者个人有很大的责任学会保护自己。
The purpose of this article is to discuss the prevalence and intensity of bacteraemia associated with orthodontic procedures and help formulate practical guidelines for orthodontists treating children with congenital or acquired heart disease. Preliminary results demonstrate a significant increase in the intensity of bacteraemia from baseline following insertion of an orthodontic separator. The potential for development of bacterial endocarditis (BE) is extremely low, questioning the need for antibiotic prophylaxis for procedures other than extractions. However, for patients who are 'at risk' a very high standard of oral hygiene is essential and much of the responsibility lies with the individual patients to learn to protect themselves.
