NCT ID NCT06269679

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 31 times

Summary

This study compares 3D cone beam CT scans to standard panoramic X-rays for detecting hidden dental infections in 170 patients hospitalized for infective endocarditis, a serious heart infection. The goal is to see if the 3D approach finds more problem areas, leading to better oral health and possibly fewer repeat heart infections. Participants will be randomly assigned to one imaging method and followed for 12 months.
