Your first patient in the spring has hypothroid and hypertension, both controlled with medications.  The vitals for today are 114/64, pulse 80 and respirations 14.  They haven’t had a dental appointment in a year and had bitewings taken then.  Your head and neck findings indicate a few abnormalities to chart and their periodontal assessments indicates that they have localized recession and generalized 1-3mm probe depths.  They indicate that they clench at night and you find that some of the anterior teeth move less than 1mm when you test mobility using 2 blunt ends of instruments. Since they are low risk for caries and have no dental concerns, you determine that they do not need new radiographs. Use this information to answer the following questions.

Your patient presents for a prophy today after being away from the dental office for over five years.

They had an artificial heart valve placed in 2020, and they report taking taking Warfarin, Metformin and a multivitamin daily. Upon completing the risk assessments and periodontal charting, you note that they are at high risk for caries and periodontal disease and have generalized 3-6mm and localized 7 and 8mm probe depths with generalized recession. Based off of this information, answer the following questions. QUESTION: What antibiotic pre-medication regimen does this patient require?
