Article Synopsis
  • The study investigated postoperative bleeding in patients undergoing oral surgery while on anticoagulant therapy, categorizing them based on their anticoagulation levels and type of surgery.
  • The groups included highly anticoagulated patients (Group A), those with moderate levels undergoing higher-risk procedures (Group B), and a small group needing intensive surgery with high INR (Group C), while a control group of healthy participants was also analyzed.
  • Results showed low incidence of mild postoperative bleeding across the groups, suggesting that extensive dental extractions and surgeries can be safely performed on anticoagulated patients when appropriate hemostatic measures are taken.

Background/aim: Patients receiving long-term oral anticoagulant therapy pose a clinical challenge during invasive dental procedures. The goal of this study was to compare different local hemostatic modalities after tooth extraction in patients receiving chronic Vitamin-K antagonist therapy.

Methods: Totally 90 patients with International Normalized Ratio (INR) ≤ 3.
