Guest guest Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 hi I think Depending on the immune status of the individual patient, tetanus prophylaxis might be necessary. Especially at risk are patients with inadequate or deficient vaccination, e.g. those who spent their childhood abroad and patients who had their last immunisation over ten years ago. In case of Knocked-out tooth (dental avulsion): Tetanus prophylaxis should be considered if the dental socket is contaminated with debris.
