About

Post-extraction bleeding can lead to significant haemodynamic compromise and morbidity. The complications, occasionally, may even be life-threatening. A variety of anti-coagulants and anti-platelets are currently used in medicine to treat conditions such as atrial fibrillation, cardiac failure, ischaemic stroke, deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and peripheral arterial disease. They are also indicated in patients with mechanical heart valves, cancer or gross obesity undergoing surgery. This talk, delivered by both an experienced dental surgeon and a physician, provides an overview of the anti-coagulants (e.g., warfarin, heparin, enoxaparin, dabigatran and rivaroxaban) and anti-platelets (e.g., aspirin and clopidogrel) that are currently used, the types and causes of post-extraction bleeding, haemostatic agents that are currently available, and the recommended guidelines for the management of patients who take these drugs and are undergoing dental extractions.
