Brief Summary: In Odense University Hospital preoperative dental screening PDS protocol for patients treated with surgical valve replacement was changed from mandatory to targeted PDS to from march 2024

The investigators will therefore compare the risk of IE before vs after march 2024
Detailed Description: Infective endocarditis IE a condition linked with significant mortality and morbidity rates is particularly concerning for patients with prosthetic left-sided valves

These patients face an elevated IE risk estimated at about 1 annually in tertiary care settings cumulatively impacting around one in every 20 patients over a decade

In line with this both the American Heart Association AHA and the European Society of Cardiology ESC strongly advocate for the elimination of potential dental sepsis sources at least two weeks before prosthetic valve implantation except in urgent cases

These guidelines while not grounded in randomized trials largely draw upon registry data detailing IE incidence among surgical valve replacement patients

In a recent study the investigators found no difference in risk of IE when comparing mandatory preoperative dental screening MPDS with no preoperative dental screening NPDS

Thus this prospective registry-based observational before-and-after study aims to investigate the impact of different preoperative dental screening practices on the risk of IE in patients undergoing
