Background: Longer lifespans and advances in medicine have been matched by an increase in theprevalence of patients at risk of infection who are likely to receive endodontic treatment.Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the knowledge of Abidjan practitioners about the currentguidelines for the management of cardiopathic patients during endodontic treatment.Methods and Materials: This is a descriptive cross-sectional survey, which involved interviewing145 dentists. The questions focused on the different types of heart disease and the indications orcontraindications of endodontic therapy for the treatment of irreversible pulpitis. The questionnaire wascalibrated and validated by the Scientific Committee of the Faculty of Odontostomatology in Abidjan (Cˆoted’Ivoire).Results: More than 50% of practitioners are unaware of the contraindications for endodontic treatment inthe cardiopath. When endodontic treatment is indicated, practitioners do not apply recommendations suchas treatment in one session (more than 50%), and antibiotic prophylaxis limited to 1h before treatment(75.17%). Finally, 26.21% of respondents do not find it necessary to establish a dialogue with the generalpractitioner.Conclusion: A low level of knowledge of the current guidelines was found among Abidjan dentists.Therefore, attempts should be made to teach the current guidelines in Abidjan undergraduate/postgraduatedental education.Keywords: Abidjan, Cardiac patients, Endodontic treatment.
