Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Prophylactic antibiotic premedication is recommended for patients with specific heart conditions that predispose them to infective endocarditis, such as a previous history of infective endocarditis, heart transplant with valve disease, and prosthetic valve replacement. It is also recommended for patients with a total joint replacement within the last 2 years to prevent joint infection. However, it is not typically recommended solely for patients with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, as diabetes does not in itself increase the risk of infective endocarditis or prosthetic joint infection to a level that necessitates antibiotic prophylaxis for dental procedures.
