Journal Title: Journal of Advanced Medical and Dental Sciences Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 12
Abstract
Background: Patients on anticoagulant therapy who are scheduled to undergo tooth extraction are typically advised to continue anticoagulant therapy. Unexpected post-extraction bleeding is often experienced in clinical practice; however, the development of thromboembolism after tooth extraction because of the discontinuation or reduction of anticoagulant therapy has been reported. Aim: To evaluate the prevalence of post extraction bleeding in the patients undergoing anti-coagulant therapy. Materials and method: The study was conducted in the department of oral surgery of the dental institution. For the study we viewed medical records of the patients from January, 2013 to December, 2016. The subjects were divided into two groups, Study group comprised patients that were on anti-coagulant therapy for more than a year and Control group comprised normal healthy patients that were not on anti-coagulant medication. A total of 100 patients were selected, 50 in each group. The information regarding frequency of patients with post-extraction bleeding was extracted from the records and tabulated for further evaluation. Results: A total of 100 patient’s medical records were studied. 62 patients were males and 38 patients were females. We observed that 12 patients in control group were positive for postoperative bleeding. Only 2 patients in control group were positive for post-operative bleeding. On comparing the results we observed statistically significant. Conclusion: Within the limitations of present study we conclude that prevalence of post-extraction bleeding is more in patients on anti-coagulant therapy.
