Managing Dental Extractions in Patients on Antiplatelet Therapy: A Comprehensive Approach
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
Abstract
Dental extractions in patients under antiplatelet therapy present a unique set of challenges, primarily due to an increased risk of bleeding during and after the procedure. These medications are vital for preventing cardiovascular events but impair platelet function, potentially complicating oral surgical interventions. This article explores the interaction between antiplatelet drugs and dental procedures, focusing on practical strategies, evidence-based guidelines, and clinical considerations to ensure patient safety and optimize outcomes. It provides an in-depth review of current literature and practical recommendations for dental professionals.
