Summary:Over the past two decades, oral health has emerged as a health care priority. Historically, patients greater than 65 years of age, the economically disadvantaged, members of racial or ethnic minority groups, or the disabled or home bound have experienced significant barriers to routine dental care. The connection between oral health care and periprosthetic joint infections (PJI) continues to be of importance to the orthopedic surgeon, as such infections are significantly morbid and costly. This review aims to introduce the importance of oral health as a small but crucial portion of an arthroplasty patient's overall perioperative management.
