Multicenter StudyHemostatic management of tooth extractions in patients on oral antithrombotic therapy.
We examined hemostatic management for tooth extraction in patients maintained on oral antithrombotic therapy. ⋯ A sufficient hemostasis can be obtained in most cases of tooth extraction under anticoagulant therapy with warfarin (INR <3.0) and antiplatelet drugs. Moreover, appropriate local hemostatic methods can be successful when postoperative hemorrhage occurs.
