Darwish G. The Effect of Direct Oral Anticoagulant Therapy (DOACs) on oral surgical procedures: a systematic review. BMC Oral Health 2023; 23:743. [PMID: 37821865 PMCID: PMC10566068 DOI: 10.1186/s12903-023-03427-8] [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: 12/04/2022] [Accepted: 09/19/2023] [Indexed: 10/13/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) were developed to overcome the drawbacks of oral anticoagulants. However, not much has been discussed about the perioperative management of patients on DOACs during oral surgical procedures. Thus, we aim to determine the risk of perioperative and postoperative bleeding during oral surgical procedures in patients on DOACs. METHODS A detailed literature search was performed to find potentially relevant studies using the Cochrane Library, Clinical Key, ClinicalTrials.gov, Google Scholar, Ovid, ScienceDirect, and Scopus. Every article available for free in English literature for the past 10 years, between 2012 and 2022, was searched. RESULTS A total of 2792 abstracts were selected through a search strategy across various search engines. Based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, eleven clinical studies using DOACs as anticoagulants or studies comparing patients with and without DOACs under oral surgery procedures were found. The results were inconsistent and varied, with a few studies recommending DOAC administration with the bare minimum reported complications and others finding no statistically significant difference between discontinuation or continuation of drugs, especially across basic dental procedures. CONCLUSION Within the limitations of the study, it can be concluded that minor oral surgical procedures are safe for patients on DOAC therapy. However, the continuation or discontinuation of DOACs in patients undergoing oral surgical procedures remains controversial and requires further studies to extrapolate the results.

Evaluation of the Hemostatic Effect of an Innovative Tissue Adhesive during Extraction Therapy under Rivaroxaban in a Rodent Model. J Funct Biomater 2023; 14:333. [PMID: 37504828 PMCID: PMC10381264 DOI: 10.3390/jfb14070333] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/21/2023] [Revised: 06/18/2023] [Accepted: 06/19/2023] [Indexed: 07/29/2023] Open
Abstract
An increase in rivaroxaban therapies is associated with increased numbers of postoperative bleeding despite the use of hemostatic sponges, which are currently the gold standard treatment. VIVO has shown promising hemostatic results, favorable tissue properties, and ease of application, although it has not yet been used in the oral cavity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the hemostatic properties of VIVO in the extraction sockets of 31 rodents and compare this to gelatin sponge (GSP) therapy. At rivaroxaban concentrations of 264.10 ± 250.10 ng/mL, 62 extraction sockets were generated, of which 31 were treated with VIVO and 31 with GSP. The duration time, early and late bleeding events, and wound healing score were determined. Histologic examinations of the tissues were performed after 5 days. VIVO presented a longer procedure, 1.26 ± 0.06 min, but a significantly shorter bleeding time, 0.14 ± 0.03 min. There was no difference between the two groups in terms of the severity and timing of bleeding. More minor early bleeding events were observed for GSP. VIVO showed a significantly better healing score, with favorable histological results. In an animal study, VIVO showed promising hemostatic properties after tooth extraction under ongoing anticoagulative therapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This article aimed to compare nationwide time trends of oral anticoagulant prescriptions with the time trend of hospitalization for tooth extraction (TE) in Germany from 2006 through 2017. PATIENTS AND METHODS We derived the annual number of hospital admissions for TE from the Nationwide Hospital Referral File of the Federal Bureau of Statistics and defined daily doses (DDD) of prescribed anticoagulants in outpatients from reports of the drug information system of the statutory health insurance. RESULTS From 2005 to 2017, annual oral anticoagulation (OAC) treatment rates increased by 143.7%. In 2017, direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) represented 57.1% of all OAC treatments. The number of cases hospitalized for TE increased by 28.0 only. From all the cases hospitalized for TE in Germany in 2006, 14.2% had a documented history of long-term use of OACs. This proportion increased to 19.6% in 2017. Age-standardized hospitalization rates for all TE cases with long-term use of OACs increased from 6.6 in 2006 to 10.5 cases per 100,000 person-years in 2014 and remained almost unchanged thereafter. CONCLUSION Our comparison showed that the large increase in OAC treatment rates in general from 2006 to 2017 had only a small impact on hospitalized TE cases with long-term use of OAC which flattens since 2014.

Abstract
Antithrombotic medications are one of the most common causes of an acquired bleeding disorder. The majority of these medications are administered orally for a variety of clinical indications. It is important that dental surgeons are aware of these medications, their mechanisms of action and how they can influence the dental management of patients, particularly when undertaking procedures which carry a risk of bleeding.

Abstract
RATIONALE Dabigatran is a direct thrombin inhibitor that is widely used to prevent the formation of thrombus formation. Amiodarone can increase the plasma concentration of dabigatran. CES1 (carboxylesterase 1) and ABCB1 (ATP-binding cassette subfamily B member 1) genetic polymorphisms associate with the pharmacokinetics of dabigatran. PATIENT CONCERNS A 62-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital due to chest tightness, fatigue, and discomfort despite long-term anticoagulation with dabigatran 110 mg twice daily for 6 months, with concomitant use of amiodarone. DIAGNOSES Left atrial appendage thrombus formation with a history of atrial fibrillation. INTERVENTIONS The clinician changed dabigatran to warfarin. To explore the causes of insufficient anticoagulation using dabigatran in this patient, we examined the ABCB1 and CES1 genes. Results showed that she carried ABCB1 variant alleles with 3 heterozygote single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs: rs4148738, rs1045642, rs2032582) and CES1 variant alleles with 2 heterozygote SNPs (rs2244613, rs4580160). OUTCOMES The left atrial appendage thrombus disappeared. LESSONS Multiple mutations in the ABCB1 and CES1 genes may influence the pharmacokinetics of dabigatran and could have contributed to the thrombus formation in the left atrial appendage.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Quantitative assessment of bleeding in dental extractions is rarely reported in the literature. The assessment of bleeding might provide additional evidence to predict and minimize postoperative outcomes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the pattern of bleeding in individuals taking direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) submitted to dental extractions. METHODS Intraoperative bleeding was evaluated by using total collected bleeding corrected by absorbance reading (dental bleeding score). To monitoring bleeding episodes from the day of surgery, this cohort was followed up until the seventh postoperative day. RESULTS Forty-five procedures were performed in three comparative groups, patients under DOACs, individuals taking vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) and without anticoagulant therapy. No bleeding events were observed in procedures carried out in individuals of the DOAC group. Additional hemostatic measures were required in two procedures in the VKA group and one in the non-anticoagulated group. The dental bleeding scores obtained for the DOAC and VKA groups were similar. CONCLUSIONS Our data suggest that the DOAC therapy did not result in increased bleeding outcomes in this sample.

Abstract
The management of patients under treatment with Direct Oral Anticoagulants (DOACs) has led clinicians to deal with two clinical issues, such as the hemorrhagic risk in case of non-interruption or the risk of thromboembolism in case of suspension of the treatment. The primary aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the incidence of perioperative bleeding events and healing complications in patients who were under treatment with Rivaroxaban and who received dental implants and immediate prosthetic restoration. Patients treated with Rivaroxaban (Xarelto 20 mg daily) and who needed implant rehabilitation were selected. Four to six implants were placed in mandibular healed sites or fresh extraction sockets. All patients, in agreement with their physicians, interrupted the medication for 24 h and received implants and immediate restorations. Twelve patients and 57 implants were analyzed in the study. No major postoperative bleeding events were reported. Three patients (25%) presented slight immediate postoperative bleeding controlled with compression only. The implant and prosthetic survival rate were both 100% after 1 year. Within the limitations of this study, multiple implant placement with an immediate loading can be performed without any significant complication with a 24 h discontinuation of Rivaroxaban, in conjunction with the patient’s physician.

Abstract
AIM The purpose of this study was to survey the current opinions of hospitals and medical practices concerning the perioperative management of patients undergoing direct oral anticoagulant therapy (DOAC) and discuss recommendations for the clinical practice. MATERIALS AND METHODS A questionnaire with 13 topics and multiple ordinal-polytomous subitems was designed and sent to 120 Departments of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in Austria, Switzerland and Germany, as well as to 85 oral and maxillofacial/oral surgeons in medical offices in Hamburg, Germany. The data were statistically evaluated by Chi-square, Fisher's exact and Jonckheere-Terpstra tests. RESULTS The rate of response was 42%. Thirty-seven percent of respondents reported treating over 50 patients per year with undergoing DOAC therapy and only 18% assess a high bleeding risk [33% for vitamin K antagonists (VKA)]. In contrast to that, 62% of respondents would interrupt the DOAC therapy for extraction of one tooth, while 94% would continue VKA therapy. Significantly more clinicians apply suture than those in a medical office. The use of additional hemostatic measures varied between clinic and medical practice. There was a clear request for more detailed guidelines. CONCLUSION The study shows the current opinion for perioperative management of patients undergoing DOAC therapy. Multi-centric studies under controlled conditions are needed for a safer treatment of anticoagulated patients as therapy strategies differ greatly between institutions and therefore a complication analysis is hardly possible.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Bleeding after tooth extraction range from minor bleeding to life-threating haemorrhagic shock and are among the leading complications in patients under oral anticoagulation with direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) or phenprocoumon. Little is known about how anticoagulation in patients under DOAC or phenprocoumon alters the characteristics, treatment or outcome of bleeding events, in comparison to non-anticoagulated patients. METHODS Patients admitted to a tertiary ED in Bern, Switzerland, from June 1st 2012 to 31st May 2016 with bleeding related to tooth extraction under DOAC, phenprocoumon or without anticoagulation, were compared. RESULTS Out of 161,458 emergency consultations, 64 patients with bleeding from tooth extraction were included in our study. In anticoagulation groups, we found significantly more delayed bleeding events than in patients without anticoagulation (9 (81.3%) DOAC, 19 (86.4%) phenprocoumon, 8 (30.8%) no anticoagulation, p < 0.001). Anticoagulated patients had to stay longer in the ED than non-anticoagulated patients, with no significant difference between DOAC or phenprocoumon (hours: 4.8 (3.2-7.6 IQR) DOAC, 3.0 (2.0-5.5 IQR) phenprocoumon, p = 0.133; 2.7 (1.6-4.6) no anticoagulation; p = 0.039). More patients with anticoagulation therapy needed surgery than patients without anticoagulant therapy (11 (68.8%) DOAC, 12 (54.6%) VKA, p = 0.506; 7(26.9%) no anticoagulation; p = 0.020). CONCLUSIONS Delayed bleeding occur more often in anticoagulated patients with both DOAC and phenprocoumon compared to patients without anticoagulation. Bleeding events in anticoagulated patients with DOAC and phenprocoumon equally need longer ED treatment and more frequent surgical intervention. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Caution with delayed bleeding in anticoagulated patients with DOACs and phenprocoumon is necessary and treatment of bleeding is resource-demanding.

Abstract
Background Thrombotic disorders remain one of the leading causes of death in the Western
world. Dabigatran appeared as an alternative to warfarin for anticoagulation
in the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF). The risk associated with
bleeding due to its use has been documented in several randomized clinical
trials, but no large study has examined in detail the risk of bleeding
during dental extraction and other dental procedures involving bleeding. Objective To compare the intensity of bleeding in individuals taking dabigatran or
vitamin K antagonist (warfarin) and undergoing dental procedures. Methods Prospective, single-center, controlled study with one single observer.
Patients diagnosed with nonvalvular AF, on warfarin or dabigatran, cared for
at a cardiology referral center, and requiring single or multiple dental
extractions, were evaluated up to seven days post-extraction. The following
outcomes were assessed: bleeding time between the beginning and the end of
suture and complete hemostasis; bleeding before the procedure, after 24
hours, 48 hours, 7 days, during and after suture removal (late); p<0.05
was defined as of statistical relevance. Results We evaluated 37 individuals, 25 in the warfarin group and 12 in the
dabigatran group. Age, sex, weight, height, blood pressure, color,
schooling, family income and comorbidities were similar between the two
groups. Regarding bleeding after 24 hours of the procedure, no one in the
dabigatran group had bleeding, whereas 32% in the warfarin group had
documented bleeding (p = 0.028). The other variables analyzed did not differ
between the groups. Conclusions This study suggests that, regarding dental extraction, there is no
statistically significant difference in the intensity of bleeding of
patients taking dabigatran as compared to those taking warfarin. Bleeding 24
hours after the procedure was less frequent among patients on
dabigatran.

Abstract
Novel oral anticoagulants (NOACs) are becoming a therapy of choice in everyday clinical practice after almost 50 years during which warfarin and related coumarin derivatives were used as the main anticoagulants. Advantages of NOACs over standard anticoagulants include their predictable pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics, stable plasma concentrations and less drug-drug and food-drug interactions. However, pharmacogenetics has its place in administration of NOACs, as considerable interindividual variations have been detected. In this review, previous findings in pharmacogenetics of dabigatran, rivaroxaban, apixaban and edoxaban are summarized, along with recommendations for studying genes encoding metabolically important enzymes for four selected NOACs. Future directions include identification of clinically relevant SNPs, and change in optimum dosage for patients who are carriers of significant variants.

Abstract
Direct oral anticoagulants (dabigatran, rivaroxaban, apixaban and edoxaban; DOACs) have been introduced to improve safety and superior therapeutic value compared to their predecessors such as warfarin or enoxaparin. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to assess the postoperative bleeding risk of DOACs during oral surgery procedures. Systematic searches were performed in electronic databases including PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science and Cochrane Library. Thirteen studies were included in the qualitative synthesis: two retrospective case-control studies, five prospective case-control studies, three cross-sectional studies, two case series and a case report; while only six studies were statistically analysed. The risk ratio of postoperative bleeding in DOACs patients was significantly greater than in healthy patients (3.04; 95% confidence interval (CI)=1.31-7.04). This is especially true for rivaroxaban (4.13; 95% CI=1.25-13.69), and less so for dabigatran which presented a risk ratio similar to that of healthy patients (1.00; 95% CI=0.21-4.82). However, further research is required to support these results. Both apixaban and edoxaban were excluded from statistical analysis due to the lack of clinical studies.
