About this study

This randomized, multicenter, open-label trial evaluates whether preoperative dental screening improves outcomes in patients undergoing surgical or transcatheter cardiac valve intervention. Participants are randomized 1:1 to preoperative dental screening or no screening. The primary outcome is time to first occurrence of all-cause death, redo-intervention of the index valve, or definite infective endocarditis within 2 years. The study uses registry-based follow-up to ensure complete outcome ascertainment.
