Continuing Aspirin Therapy Does Not Increased Risk Of Bleeding For Patients Undergoing Minor Dental Procedures
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Pharmacy and Biological Sciences (IOSR-JPBS) - Year 2016, Vol 11, Issue 2
Abstract
Aspirin is a common, chronically administered preventive treatment for cardiovascular disease . It has been used traditionally as analgesic and anti- inflammatory for centuries and is one of the world’s most widely used drug. Aspirin or acetyl salicylic acid is still the only non steroidal anti-inflammatory drug used in the treatment and prevention of thromboembolic diseases. However, the majority of recommendations to stop aspirin therapy were not from dental literature. The amount of blood loss depends on the invasiveness of the surgical procedure. No surgical interventions are alike and therefore strict guidelines to alter or stop these medications without considering the invasiveness of the surgical procedure is a gross mistake.The debate as to stop or not to stop aspirin before minor surgical procedures like a simple dental extraction is a serious concern for patients and the dental practitioner. The aim of this article is to present the review of literature regarding safety of dental extraction procedure in patients on aspirin therapy.
