tooth shaped from injury or what have you.  And like I said 9 times out of 10, odontoid refers to the "toothlike odontoid process in the second cervical vertebra."  That's pretty specific, dontcha think?  I've never heard a doctor refer to an "odontoid" in any other part of the body.

Subject: I thought it would be some type of cement, but he's is saying "Prodance" pretty clear, I just

can't document that anywhere. It seems to be a packing of some sort as the doc stated "we packed the wound and sutured the soft tissues over this impregnated with the antibiotics"... with whatever this "Prodance" thing is. I did try researching all types of antibiotic-impregnated cements, but no luck there either.

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.

I do have CTS but ortho MDs say not to operate for another 10 years (til I'm way up there in age).  I find I have thumb pain (for decades) from hitting the space bar too hard with my thumb.  I had cortisone shots into the thumb for years (one shot lasted 10 years in one thumb and the other shots didn't work at all in the other thumb).


Hope you feel better!
