Abstract
OBJECTIVE This work measures the intra-operative bleeding in end-stage renal disease patients and assesses whether laboratory coagulation tests and nitrogenous compounds are related to a higher bleeding risk. METHODS Laboratory tests were performed on the day of surgery and some patients with thrombocytopenia and values above the normal levels of international normalised ratio (INR), thrombin time (TT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) were identified. RESULTS Haemostatic time ranged from 2 to 35 min (mean of 8.51 min) after suture. Bleeding volume ranged from 0.02 to 67.06 mL (mean of 4.38 mL) and the bleeding volume per minute ranged from 0.05 to 2.10 mL/min (median of 0.6 mL/min). Only seven patients (16.27%) had abnormal bleeding (more than 0.6 mL/min). Spearman's coefficient showed weak correlations between bleeding volume (mL/min) and serum urea (r = 0.226), TT (r = 0.227), plasma urea (r = 0.148) and creatinine (r = 146), as well as very weak correlations with all other variables (r < 0.140) such as age, haemodialysis time, glycaemia, glycated haemoglobin, platelets, INR, aPTT and fibrinogen. CONCLUSION It was not possible to associate any laboratory test or nitrogenous compounds present in the blood and saliva with an increased bleeding.

Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol Oral Radiol 2024; 137:224-242. [PMID: 38155005 DOI: 10.1016/j.oooo.2023.10.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2023] [Revised: 10/05/2023] [Accepted: 10/09/2023] [Indexed: 12/30/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the risk of bleeding after minor extraction in patients on different antiplatelet therapy (APT) regimens. STUDY DESIGN A search was conducted using PubMed and Google Scholar. Thirty-five papers were included in the systematic review, of which 23 papers provided the requisite information for meta-analysis. Subgroups were created based on the controls, as follows: (1) no control, (2) healthy control, and (3) interrupted APT control. In a meta-analysis, the studies were further subdivided into immediate and delayed bleeding. RESULTS No immediate or delayed bleeding risk was found in patients treated with aspirin vs healthy controls (relative risk [RR] = 1.26; P = .5 and RR = 2.17; P = .09, respectively). A higher immediate bleeding was recorded for patients on single nonaspirin APT vs those in the healthy population (RR = 3.72; P = .0009). A high risk of bleeding was recorded in patients receiving dual APT compared with healthy controls for immediate (RR = 10.3; P < .0001) and delayed (RR = 7.72; P = .001) bleeding. Dual APT continuation showed a higher risk of immediate bleeding (RR = 2.13) than interrupted APT, but the difference was insignificant (P = .07). CONCLUSIONS Dental extraction can be performed safely in patients on aspirin monotherapy. In contrast, patients receiving dual APT should be considered at risk for immediate and continued bleeding.

Comparison between two different local hemostatic methods for dental extractions in patients on dual antiplatelet therapy: a within-person, single-blind, randomized study. J Evid Based Dent Pract 2023; 23:101863. [PMID: 37689449 DOI: 10.1016/j.jebdp.2023.101863] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/14/2022] [Revised: 03/09/2023] [Accepted: 04/03/2023] [Indexed: 09/11/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) provides additional risk reduction of ischemic events compared to aspirin monotherapy, at cost of higher bleeding risk. There are few data comparing new techniques for reducing bleeding after dental extractions in these patients. PURPOSE This study investigated the effectiveness of the HemCon Dental Dressing (HDD) compared to oxidized cellulose gauze. MATERIALS AND METHODS This randomized study included 60 patients on DAPT who required at least two dental extractions (120 procedures). Each surgical site was randomized to HDD or oxidized regenerated cellulose gauze as the local hemostatic method. Intra-oral bleeding time was measured immediately after the dental extraction and represents our main endpoint for comparison of both hemostatic agents. Prolonged bleeding, platelet reactivity measured by Multiplate Analyser (ADPtest and ASPItest) and tissue healing comparison after 7 days were also investigated. RESULTS Intra-oral bleeding time was lower in HDD compared with control (2 [2-5] vs. 5 [2-8] minutes, P=0.001). Prolonged postoperative bleeding was observed in 7 cases (11.6%), all of them successfully managed with local sterile gauze pressure. More HDD treated sites presented better healing when compared with control sites [21 (36.8%) vs. 5 (8.8%), P=0.03]. There was poor correlation between platelet reactivity and intra-oral bleeding time. CONCLUSIONS In patients on DAPT, HDD resulted in a lower intra-oral bleeding time compared to oxidized cellulose gauze after dental extractions. Moreover, HDD also seems to improve healing conditions.

Yong CW, Tan SHX, Teo GN, Tan TS, Ng WH. Should we stop dual anti-platelet therapy for dental extractions? An umbrella review for this dental dilemma. JOURNAL OF STOMATOLOGY, ORAL AND MAXILLOFACIAL SURGERY 2022; 123:e708-e716. [PMID: 35691560 DOI: 10.1016/j.jormas.2022.06.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/26/2022] [Revised: 05/28/2022] [Accepted: 06/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Dual Anti-platelet Therapy (DAPT) are prescribed to patients who had or are at risk of cerebrovascular or cardiovascular ischemic events. This umbrella review appraises existing systematic reviews on the risk of bleeding related complications during and after dental extractions for patients on DAPT. STUDY DATA AND SOURCES This review was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines and registered to the PROSPERO (International prospective register of systematic reviews) database. A systematic electronic literature search was conducted according to the PRISMA guidelines, via PubMed, Ovid, Cochrane and Embase. STUDY SELECTION Four systematic reviews met the inclusion criteria and were included the analysis. They show DAPT increases the risk of bleeding related complications after dental extractions, but the differences may not be clinically significant as local haemostatic measures were adequate in controlling bleeding. CONCLUSION Despite the increased risk of bleeding after dental extractions in patients on DAPT, it may not be necessary to interrupt the anti-platelet therapy. Local haemostatic agents may be sufficient in controlling both the primary or secondary bleeding. On the other hand, the complications of discontinuing DAPT may be more severe and fatal.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To clinically assess socket healing after tooth extraction and the occurrence of intra- and postoperative complications in patients with chronic kidney failure (CKF) receiving hemodialysis (HD) by comparing them with a control group. STUDY DESIGN This prospective study involved 48 patients with CKF receiving HD (study group [SG]) and 29 participants without CKF (control group [CG]) undergoing tooth extractions. No prophylactic antibiotic was administered to the participants. One calibrated dentist evaluated all individuals at 3, 7, 21, and 60 days after the tooth extractions and assessed hemostasis time, occurrence of local or distant infection, epithelialization, and deposition of alveolar bone. RESULTS In the SG, 87 teeth were extracted through 65 interventions, and in the CG, 76 teeth were extracted through 36 interventions. Bleeding beyond 30 minutes was observed in 12 interventions (18.5%) in SG participants and was controlled with local hemostatic agents. Neither group had individuals presenting with postoperative infectious complications at the surgical site or at a distance. After 21 days, we observed delayed epithelialization in 29.9% (26 of 87) of the individuals in the SG compared with 3.9% (3 of 37) of those in the CG (P < .001). After 60 days, all the sockets were epithelialized and showing radiographic signs of alveolar bone neoformation. CONCLUSIONS Individuals with CKF receiving hemodialysis tend to heal well after dental extractions. They did not have an increased risk of infectious complications after simple tooth extractions, but they showed prolonged bleeding events more often than control subjects. Additional research studies using larger sample sizes of patients with CKF receiving hemodialysis are needed to confirm our findings.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to quantify intraoperative bleeding in patients with cirrhosis and correlate it with clinical characteristics and laboratory coagulation tests. STUDY DESIGN A case-control study was carried out with 74 patients with cirrhosis who were submitted to preoperative coagulation tests (complete blood count, platelet count, prothrombin time/international normalized ratio, thrombin time, activated partial thrombin time, platelet aggregation, fibrinogen, protein C, protein S, antithrombin, and von Willebrand factor level and activity). The levels of nitrogen compounds that can affect the platelet function were determined in saliva and blood by using automated enzymatic-colorimetric assays. RESULTS Patients with cirrhosis had changes in almost all coagulation tests. The average volumes of intraoperative bleeding and blood lost per minute in the study group (5.36 mL/min and 0.19 mL/min, respectively) were greater than those in the control group (3.05 mL/min and 0.11 mL/min, respectively; P < .05). In the control group, ascites (P = .012) and presence of periapical lesion (0.034) were positively correlated with bleeding (mL/min). With regard to coagulation tests and nitrogen compounds, only a positively moderate correlation with the platelet aggregation test was observed. CONCLUSIONS No patients had hemorrhagic events and it was not possible to correlate a greater amount of bleeding with coagulation tests or nitrogen compounds in the study group.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The objective of this crossover clinical study was to evaluate the effectiveness of Energy Regulation with Acupuncture in clinical occurrences in impacted lower third molar surgeries. METHODS The sample consisted of 22 patients with two impacted third molars, in symmetrical position; divided into two groups: Test Group (TG) with Real Energy Regulation Group and Sham Group (SG) with Acupuncture without Energy Regulation function. The extraction was performed 30 days apart. Energy flow (Ryodoraku Method) and energy regulation performed before extraction were measured. Heart Rate (HR) and Blood Pressure (BP) were evaluated before and after energy regulation and after surgery, residual edema was measured by facial measurements (angle of the mandible to tragus (A-T); angle of the mandible to labial commissure (A-LC); angle of the mandible to the wing of the nose (A-WN); angle of the mandible to the corner of the eye (A-CE); angle of the mandible to the chin (A-C); and mouth opening by the interincisal distance, before and after seven days of surgery. To quantify intraoperative bleeding (ml), blood was aspirated along with the saline solution using a portable vacuum pump adaptor. The amount of saline solution used was subtracted from the final amount of aspirated fluid. RESULTS Mean of bleeding was lower in TG (p = 0.0392). There were significant differences between groups in facial distances: A-LC (p = 0.010), A-WN (p = 0.030) and A-C (p = 0.008). CONCLUSION Energy regulation with real acupuncture was effective in reducing postoperative residual edema and intraoperative bleeding.

Abstract
Bleeding is a feared complication of minor oral surgery in patients on treatment with antiplatelet agents and there is no agreed strategy regarding the cessation or not of antiplatelet treatment. The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate bleeding with minor oral surgery in patients on dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT), single antiplatelet therapy (SAPT), or no antiplatelet therapy (no APT). The PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases were screened. Sixteen studies were included. DAPT was continued in all studies. The perioperative bleeding risk was significantly higher for DAPT than for SAPT (risk ratio (RR) 10.16, P= 0.010; risk difference (RD) 0.35, P= 0.269), but not higher compared to no APT (RR 6.50, P= 0.057; RD 0.19, P= 0.060). The postoperative bleeding risk was significantly elevated for DAPT compared to SAPT (RR 2.61, P= 0.010) and no APT (RR 3.63, P= 0.035), but only by 1% (RD 0.01, P= 0.103) and 1% (RD 0.01, P= 0.421), respectively. Clinically, this may be considered quite similar. Additionally, local haemostatic measures could control all reported bleeding and no lethal events occurred. Therefore, DAPT interruption is not advised before minor oral surgery.

Advances in Antiplatelet Therapy for Dentofacial Surgery Patients: Focus on Past and Present Strategies. MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2019; 12:E1524. [PMID: 31075947 PMCID: PMC6540095 DOI: 10.3390/ma12091524] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/10/2019] [Revised: 05/06/2019] [Accepted: 05/07/2019] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Nowadays, patients involved in antiplatelet therapy required special attention during oral surgery procedures, due to the antiplatelet drugs assumption. The motivations of the assumption may be different and related to the patient's different systemic condition. For this reason, accordingly to the current international guidelines, different protocols can be followed. The aim of this work is to analyze how the dentist's approach to these patients has changed from the past to the present, evaluating the risk exposure for the patients. METHODS This review paper considered different published papers in literature through quoted scientific channels, going in search of "ancient" works in such a way as to highlight the differences in the protocols undertaken. The analyzed manuscripts are in the English language, taking into consideration reviews, case reports, and case series in such a way as to extrapolate a sufficient amount of data and for evaluating the past therapeutic approaches compared to those of today. RESULTS Colleagues in the past preferred to subject patients to substitution therapy with low molecular weight anticoagulants, by suspending antiplatelet agents to treatment patients, often for an arbitrary number of days. The new guidelines clarify everything, without highlighting an increased risk of bleeding during simple oral surgery in patients undergoing antiplatelet therapy. CONCLUSION Either patients take these medications for different reasons, because of cardiovascular pathologies, recent cardiovascular events, or even for simple prevention, although the latest research shows that there is no decrease of cardiovascular accidents in patients who carry out preventive therapy. Surely, it will be at the expense of the doctor to assess the patient's situation and risk according to the guidelines. For simple oral surgery, it is not necessary to stop therapy with antiplatelet agents because the risk of bleeding has not increased, and is localized to a post-extraction alveolus or to an implant preparation, compared to patients who do not carry out this therapy. From an analysis of the results it emerges that the substitutive therapy should no longer be performed and that it is possible to perform oral surgery safely in patients who take antiplatelet drugs, after a thorough medical history. Furthermore, by suspending therapy, we expose our patients to more serious risks, concerning their main pathology, where present.

Safety of dental extractions in patients on dual antiplatelet therapy - a meta-analysis. ADVANCES IN INTERVENTIONAL CARDIOLOGY 2019; 15:68-73. [PMID: 31043987 PMCID: PMC6488835 DOI: 10.5114/aic.2019.83773] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/22/2018] [Accepted: 12/16/2018] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction Safety of dental extractions in patients on chronic antiplatelet therapy either with only acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) or clopidogrel or with both combined has been a matter of debate, with no clearly conclusive studies published. Aim To perform a meta-analysis of published observational studies in order to study the effect of single and double antiplatelet therapy in comparison to controls on the occurrence of immediate local bleeding complications during dental extractions. Material and methods PubMed/Scopus/Embase database search revealed 22 papers (13 original and 9 review), 3 of which were finally included in the meta-analysis. Phrases searched: dual[All Fields] AND antiplatelet[All Fields] AND (“therapy”[Subheading] OR “therapy”[All Fields] OR “therapeutics”[MeSH Terms] OR “therapeutics”[All Fields]) AND (“tooth extraction”[MeSH Terms] OR (“tooth”[All Fields] AND “extraction”[All Fields]) OR “tooth extraction”[All Fields]). Results The overall event incidence (bleeding complication after extraction) in the entire population was 1.59% (42 events in 2637 patients). As compared to the control group, the use of double antiplatelet therapy DAPT was associated with on odd ratio OR of 40.23 (95% CI: 4.37–370.36) increase in risk of bleeding events occurrence (p = 0.0011). Significant heterogeneity was observed (p < 0.001; I2 of 76.7%). Conclusions Dental extractions following strict procedural protocols in patients on double antiplatelet therapy with clopidogrel and ASA are associated with an additional risk of immediate local bleeding complications.

Bleeding during and after dental extractions in patients with liver cirrhosis. Int J Oral Maxillofac Surg 2018; 47:1543-1549. [PMID: 29705406 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijom.2018.04.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2017] [Revised: 02/01/2018] [Accepted: 04/08/2018] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
Little is known about the prevention and management of acquired coagulopathies, such as those affecting cirrhotic patients. The objective of this analytic retrospective observational study was to evaluate patients on the liver transplant waiting list according to the following outcomes: (1) presence of unusual intraoperative bleeding (>10min after routine haemostatic procedures); and (2) presence of postoperative haemorrhagic complications. The outcomes were analysed according to clinical and laboratory variables. A total of 190 visits were performed for extraction of 333 teeth (ranging from 1 to 9 teeth per visit), with platelet count ranging from 16,000 to 216,000 and international normalized ratio (INR) below 3. Twelve cases (6.31%) had unusual intraoperative bleeding and 12 had postoperative haemorrhagic complications. All the events were controlled by local measures. Intraoperative bleeding was associated with low count of platelets (P=0.026). However, this counting could explain only 16% (adjusted R2=0.16) of the cases of bleeding (P=0.44), meaning that platelet function changes might be involved. Our results show that cirrhotic patients presenting platelet count above 16,000 and INR below 3 need no previous blood transfusion, with local measures being enough to manage haemorrhagic events.
