Can You Get Capsular Contracture from Dental Work or Surgery?

Can you get CC from other surgery and/or dental work? I have read/heard that it is recommended that someone with breast implants start a prophylactic round of antibiotics before they go to have their teeth cleaned to prevent the risk of capsular contracture? Also, does having a big surgery after breast implants increase the risk of capsular contracture? If so, why?
