A relationship between bucco-dental infection and distant tissue lesions has been recognized for many years. However the pathogenesis of focal odontostomatogenous infection is still not fully understood. At the moment a special attention is paid to the auto immune pathogenesis, but, how focal infection could cause distant tissue injury remains to be investigated. The importance of prevention of infective endocarditis is underlined and prophylaxis procedures are discussed.
