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.
Article Synopsis
- Historical data shows a variety of suture materials used for surgical wounds, specifically highlighting the importance of choosing the right type based on tissue condition and characteristics.
- A clinical study involving 150 patients focused on the effects of three suture types (Black Silc 5-0, Nylon 5-0, and Vicryl 5-0) after tooth root end surgery.
- The study evaluated wound dehiscence on Days 2, 5, and 7 post-surgery, indicating that no suture material was perfect, but synthetic monofilament sutures may have some advantages.
Purpose: To evaluate postoperative bleeding and thromboembolic complications during dental extractions in anticoagulated patients, using 2 different protocols.
Patients And Methods: In total, 214 anticoagulated patients in need of simple dental extractions were randomized into 2 groups. Group A consisted of 109 patients on continuous oral anticoagulation therapy (OAT), with a mean international normalized ratio (INR) of 2.
Reconstruction of bone defects is one of the major therapeutic goals in various clinical fields. Bone replacement materials must satisfy a number of criteria. Biological criteria are biocompatibility, controlled biodegradability, and osteoconductive or even osteogenic potential.
