antibiotics for dental exams and dental work
Subject: antibiotics for dental exams and dental work

This is SBE prophylaxis (subacute bacterial endocarditis) which is given to patients with heart valve disease.  When dental work is done, this causes the bacteria from the mouth to go into the system and can cause vegetation on one or more of the heart valves....which is a very serious and possibly life-threatening situation.  Most surgeries require this be done before the procedure, even certain nonsurgical procedures that may be less invasive, require it as well.  However, the guidelines are less stringent than they were previously.  Hope this helps.

Caries
Subject: Caries

Hi, all, and a happy holiday to everyone.

Am I correct in my thinking that caries (as in dental) is singular as well as plural? I just had a doc dictate "there was a large cary." I think that only refers to Cary Grant.

Does anyone know for sure?

Thanks.

The other day I posted for dental help. FYI, got feedback today and could kick myself now.


Here's the sentence:


Dissection buccally was carried inferiorly along the lateral cortical plate and the mandible to identify the mental foramen and (S/L insexapine nerve).


The word was mental foramen and its exiting nerve. He really mumbled that together.


Anyhow, thanks for trying to help.

glissement, you won't get what you need. You need to limit your results to those that are relevant to your topic by adding associated terms to your search. Try the two words "glissement" and "knee" (without the quotes). There will be a lot of results in French, but even if you can't read French, you will be able to see that they are relevant to your topic. There are, however, a few that use "glissement" in an English context, which should give you more confidence. In any event, it's your initials on the report, so you handled it in the way that is most comfortable for you. I could be wrong, of course, but I suspect that it will turn out to be "glissement".
