摘要：Infective endocarditis (IE) is a rare (< 7 cases per 100,000 persons per year) and severe disease (20% early mortality, 40% at 5 years) (1,2,3). Infective endocarditis is caused by infected vegetation which often occurs on previously damaged or con- genitally malformed cardiac valves or endocardium (heart lining). A questionnaire containing 15-20 questions were prepared and distributed among the Indian dentists. Indian dentist knowledge and implementation of current guidelines for antibiotic prophylaxis of infective endocarditis in patients with predisposing cardiac conditions was assessed and corresponding results were calculated and tabulated. This study revealed relevant areas to improve the training of dentists, such as knowledge of some cardiac conditions, the potential side effects of the antibiotics used, and the pathogenesis of infective endocarditis. Consequently, dentists' knowledge can be improved by conducting CDE and keeping up with the latest journal. Keywords: Antibiotics, Indian dentist, Infective Endocarditis.
