Comparing two dental x-rays one year after heart infection
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of dental X-rays (OPT and CBCT) to see which one better detects dental problems one year after a serious heart infection called infective endocarditis. It aims to help decide the best way to monitor your oral health after the infection.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have or recently had a definite heart infection (infective endocarditis) based on standard guidelines.
- You haven't had these specific dental X-rays (OPT and CBCT) for this infection before.
- Your health is stable enough to have both types of dental X-rays done.
- You are expected to live at least 6 more months.
- You agree to visit the hospital dental department or your own dentist for follow-up.
- You are over 18 years old and have health insurance.
- You can understand the study and give your permission to join.

This study looks at ways to lower the risk of infective endocarditis, a serious heart infection that can happen after certain bacteria enter the bloodstream from the mouth. You may be asked to pause routine dental cleanings for a period while they track dental health and infection risk.
This study tests whether an FDG-PET/CT scan (a special imaging test) can help doctors choose the best treatment plan for people with a suspected native heart valve infection. It may help reduce uncertainty by showing where the infection activity is.
This study looks at blood and other lab test results (“biomarkers”) to better predict what may happen to people with infective endocarditis, a serious infection of the heart lining or heart valves. Your information may help doctors estimate risk and choose care more safely and effectively.
This trial tests whether a treatment without rifampin works as well as one with rifampin for a type of heart valve infection caused by staph bacteria. It aims to find a simpler and safer option for patients with an infected artificial heart valve.
This study tests a new way to find the cause of infective endocarditis, a serious heart infection. It may help doctors choose the right treatment faster.
This is an observational study that follows people with confirmed infective endocarditis (a serious infection of the heart lining or heart valves). It may help doctors better understand the illness and improve care.
