As part of the College's Understanding Antimicrobial Resistance program, we are sharing insights from the February 2026 issue of The Journal of the American Dental Association regarding prosthetic joint treatment. Co-authored by ICD Section I Fellow Dr. Thomas Paumier, the article discusses how the latest American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons guidelines now agree with long-standing dental protocols.

The evidence shows that routine antibiotic use before dental visits does not reduce the risk of joint infection. Instead, it contributes to the broader challenge of antibiotic resistance. By following evidence-based guidelines, dentists can play a vital role in the global effort to combat antimicrobial resistance while ensuring their patients receive timely, effective dental care.

Thank you to our Hasegawa House group leader, Dr. Lara Coseo and her husband Jeff, for hosting our Great Expectations end of the year gathering! We enjoyed a cool and cloudy evening with great food and fellowship.
Walking along the shore of beautiful Lake Lewisville, we picked wild blackberries, skipped rocks and laughed a lot. Best wishes to the D1’s as they round the corner into their D2 year! You made it!!
