CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING THE MANAGEMENT OF DENTAL PROCEDURES IN PATIENTS WITH ANTICOAGULANT MEDICATION: CASE PRESENTATION
Abstract:
Dentistry is a branch of medicine, with specialized care almost exclusively performed in an
outpatient basis, with various dental procedures resulting in bleeding. Due to the increase in the
average age of patients, the dentist must pay special attention to the associated pathology, pathology
that can lead to uncontrolled bleeding or other complications. The incidence of the number of patients
with various anticoagulant medication for associated general diseases has increased. Thus, the
approach of these patients must be done in correlation with the management of diseases and
associated medication. We found it interesting to report the therapeutic conduct in case of tooth
extraction in patients whose medication includes warfarin. The dentist should be aware of possible
complications in patients under anticoagulant medication, which requires a judicious case selection,
with interdisciplinary collaboration, as well as careful management of surgical procedures to
minimize the risks of postoperative bleeding
