  • Dental Implications: High bleeding risk medication
89
Q

hold or nor hold these meds in dentistry?

A

“There is general agreement that in most cases, treatment regimens with older anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin) and antiplatelet agents (e.g., clopidogrel,
ticlopidine, prasugrel, ticagrelor, and/or aspirin) should NOT be altered before dental procedures. The risks of stopping or reducing these medication regimens
(i.e., thromboembolism, stroke, MI) far outweigh the consequences of prolonged bleeding, which can be controlled with local measures.”

“On the basis of limited evidence, general consensus appears to be that in most patients who are receiving the newer target-specific oral anticoagulants (i.e.,
dabigatran, rivaroxaban, apixaban, or edoxaban) and undergoing dental interventions (in conjunction with usual local measures to control bleeding), NO
CHANGE to the anticoagulant regimen is required.”

90
Q

In patients with comorbid medical conditions that can increase the risk of prolonged bleeding after dental treatment or who are receiving other therapy that can increase bleeding risk, dental practitioners may wish to?

A

In patients with comorbid medical conditions that can increase the risk of prolonged bleeding after dental treatment or who are receiving other therapy that can increase bleeding risk, dental practitioners may wish to consult the patient’s physician to determine whether care can safely be delivered in a primary care office. Any suggested modification to the medication regimen
prior to dental surgery should be done in consultation and on advice of the patient’s physician
