According to current AHA guidelines, antibiotic prophylaxis is recommended only for patients at the highest risk. Conditions that warrant prophylaxis include prosthetic valves, history of infective endocarditis, and certain cyanotic heart diseases. Mitral valve prolapse without regurgitation is no longer recommended for prophylaxis.

Oral SurgeryBlood clot protection is not a primary indication for suturing following extraction. The blood clot forms naturally and is protected by proper post-extraction care. Suturing is mainly indicated for flap reapproximation, tissue immobilization, and hemostasis.

Dental Anatomy
Dentinogenesis is the formation of dentin by odontoblasts of mesenchymal origin
located at the periphery of the dental pulp
Dentinogenesis is initiated by the inductive influence of the enamel organ
involving molecular signaling pathways, such as Wnt, Runx-2, and TGF-?. In the
molar tooth, dentinogenesis starts at the late bell stage, and occurs in the
crown as well as root regions.
Predentin, the first organic matrix secreted by odontoblasts, is composed by
proteoglycans, glycoproteins, and collagens.
