Treatment with local hemostatic agents and primary closure after tooth extraction in warfarin treated patients.
    Swedish dental journal, 2013, Volume: 37, Issue:2

    The aim of this retrospective study was to assess the frequency of postoperative bleeding in patients on warfarin after tooth removal followed by a complete soft tissue closure of the surgical site. A total of 124 consecutive patients, 69 males and 55 females with a mean age of 71 years (range 28-95 years) were included in this study. Inclusion criteria were patients on warfarin with an INR

[Mouth-washing with tranexamic acid in patients treated with oral anticoagulants subjected to oral surgery procedures].
    Investigacion clinica, 1998, Volume: 39, Issue:2

    The purpose of the present work was to observe local hemostatic function during dental surgery in patients under oral anticoagulant therapy with an INR between 1.7 and 2.5. Thirty seven dental treatments were performed in 15 patients. Group A: nineteen dental treatments (13 scalings, 1 root canal therapy and 5 dental extractions), treated with oral rinse with tranexamic acid (250 mg dissolved in 10 ml of water). Group B: eighteen dental procedures (13 scaling, 1 root canal therapy and 14 dental extractions), in which oral rinse was utilized. Antibiotics were indicated for those patients with root canal therapy or with signs of infection. A cool soft diet was recommended to all patients during the three days following the surgical procedure. Only in five (13.5%) dental extractions (1 from group A and 4 from B) bleeding prolonged was observed, however periodontal disease was also present in those patients hone of them required blood products or withdrawal of the anticoagulant. The results suggest that mouth washing with tranexamic acid prevents excessive oral bleeding in patients treated with oral anticoagulants with an INR between 1.7 and 2.5.
